So many people change their lives through writing.

  • Some make money from it.
  • Some gain courage.
  • Some become better thinkers.
  • Some finally discover their life’s task.
  • Some simply heal.

But let’s be real, writing is hard.

I’m not gonna lie.

If the first piece is your obstacle, I hope these 3 steps help:

Step #1: The first draft is for you

“I’m not looking for people who want to be writers. I’m looking for people who are passionate — who care terribly about something.”
— Kurt Vonnegut

Forget about the audience.

Forget what people want.

Forget the rules.

This is your playground.

Write anything you want.

Write anything you care about.

Write anything you can’t stop yourself from sharing.
