Stop circling the project. Start moving it toward DONE.

A 3-week small-group creative cohort for people who have something they actually want to make.

12 participants maximum. NOVEMBER 8, 15, and 22.

Enrollment: $249
(INCLUDES WRITE BETTER. FASTER. WORKSHOP on NOVEMBER 1st.)

You already have the idea.

Maybe you've outlined it. Reorganized it. Talked about it. Changed your mind about it 4 and a half times. You've probably purchased a very handsome notebook for it. (I love a new notebook!)

But there's an annoying difference between having a project and actually making something.

For 3 weeks, we're going to work on closing that gap.

First, we're going to define DONE.

“Finish my book” isn't a particularly useful three-week goal.

Neither is “work on my show” or “finally make that workshop.”

Instead, we'll establish a specific, achievable finish line for your project.

Maybe that's two chapters.  Or first draft of a show.  Or a complete workshop outline.  You know yourself better than I do - so YOU decide the finish line, and I'll help you get there.

Different projects. Different finish lines. But everybody leaves the starting line with PURPOSE.

Over three weeks, you'll:

  • Define DONE for this stage of your project

  • Build a realistic plan around the time you actually have

  • Make meaningful progress toward that finish line

  • Get coaching when you hit creative or practical problems

  • Have deadlines and accountability to keep the work moving

  • Leave with a clear direction for what happens next

I cannot promise that you will finish your project because I cannot sneak into your house every morning and do the work for you...

but what I can provide is a structure specifically designed to make finishing much more likely... and, maybe most importantly, much more enjoyable.

A finish line. A plan. Deadlines. Accountability. Coaching. And three weeks where the project stops being “a someday thing.”

If you do the work, we're going to move this thing forward SIGNIFICANTLY.

Why do this with me?

I make my living turning ideas into finished creative work.

In a typical year, I create around two hours of new spoken storytelling material for different audiences, alongside commissioned pieces, workshops, articles, and other projects.

That means I've spent a lot of time learning how to get from:

“I have an idea.” to “Here's the thing I'm proud of.”

I've also spent plenty of time getting stuck in the swamp between those two places... so this isn't a cohort about having better intentions.  

It's about building finish lines, solving the problems that show up along the way, and continuing to make the work when the shiny-new-idea energy wears off.

And I'm keeping this cohort deliberately small.

There are 12 seats because I want enough room to actually know what you're making, hear where you're stuck, and help you solve the problem in front of you.

Your enrollment also includes the September 8 live workshop:

from DREAM to DRAFT to DONE + WRITE BETTER. FASTER. workshop

$249 total (includes NOV 1st Workshop)

Maximum 12 participants.

These seats will fill up fast.

(YOU'LL RECEIVE MEETING LINK ACCESS AFTER REGISTRATION - EACH OF THE 3 SESSIONS and WORKSHOP WILL BE approx. 2 HOURS)
