FAQs
(Feel free to email me if you have questions that are not answered here.)
I CAN’T ATTEND ALL OF THE LIVE SESSIONS, WILL THEY BE RECORDED?
Yes. All of the instructional sessions will be recorded.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I SHOW UP FOR the SESSIONs?
Each live session will feature a reading from the book, guided writing exercises, open discussion, and a Q&A. Our weekly focus will be on self-discovery, and you'll be encouraged to explore your ideas further through prose or poetry in the week that follows. At the start of each session, we’ll reflect on the previous week’s writing experience together. You won’t be expected to present polished or finished work, and while sharing is always welcomed, it’s never required. However, I will invite each of you to speak about the themes you're exploring and the insights you're uncovering in your writing.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE INNER STORY MEMBERship?

No. Your access to the Inner Story Writing Circle is completely optional and supplemental. You will not miss out on any instruction or materials needed for this course if you do not attend these sessions.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I SHOW UP FOR A COWRITING SESSION?
Cowriting sessions take place on Tuesdays from 6 - 7 pm et and on Thursdays from 12 - 1 pm et. These are quiet sessions intended to help you set aside time to get words on the page. At the start of the session, we say hello and are invited to share what we’ll be working on. I also offer an optional warm-up exercise. (On Tuesdays, we hop on early at 5:30 pm et for an accountability session where we share updates, challenges, wins, questions, breakthroughs, frustrations, etc. with each other.)
DO I NEED TO RSVP FOR THE COWRITING SESSIONS AND inner story WORKSHOPS? WILL YOU SEND OUT REMINDERS?
I don’t send out reminders for the cowriting sessions, so you will want to add them to your calendar. I do send out reminders for the other sessions and workshops, but I encourage you to add those to your calendar, too!
