When writing flows, all of life feels more vibrant, fulfilling and exciting. And when you feel stuck, you're living your second best life, at best.

I developed the Write in Ten process to overcome my own chronic writer's block, and discovered that developing a purposeful, prolific writing practice enhanced every aspect of my life. I share this process because I want that experience for you. . . and can't wait to see what you create.

As soon as I joined Write in Ten, my "writing life" took off. The clever and varied scaffolding Write in Ten provided actually turned my long held passion project into a purposeful habit (and 12 chapters of a memoir that now exist!) Jo's frequent, playful and pithy cheerleading texts and invitations to share vulnerable daily musings and writing time together created a burgeoning camaraderie in a mini writing community, something I hadn't realized I needed. The expectations are manageable (10 minutes a day) but the payoff is high; if you're curious at all about your writing potential, I can't recommend this low-barrier but fabulous experience highly enough!

I am so thrilled through Write in

Ten to have made progress on my novel project, pulling together a lot of scenes and research to finish a first draft. Joanna provides the structure and guidance to keep creatives on task. The weekly write-ins introduced me to other authors and kept me focused on meeting my goals. Daily, there were great discussions on our group What's App. We had different projects, in various stages of completion, but were all facing many of the same challenges. I learned how to conquer obstacles from my fellow classmates (and their resource suggestions) in addition to Joanna's thoughtful feedback. Write in Ten has convinced me that having the right resources, a plan, and a community are what it takes to keep momentum going!

Thanks to Write in Ten I now have in my possession a final draft of a play script that didn’t exist 10 wks ago! My time has been so full but Jo guided us to carve out sacrosanct yet realistic time to write. Without the support of the 10wk course this feat would have been much less achievable I know that for certain.
