What’s Possible?
Limits create safety. At least the illusion of safety. Their removal creates a sense of boundlessness, free-floating, untethered possibility. Think outer space and the ocean; we’ve only so far scratched the surface of exploration.
I’m in one of those places now. Not physically zero-gravity or treading water, but facing a new, vast, and potentially unfriendly frontier.
Daunting, yes. Then I remember sage advice I’ve heard and given here before: Anxiety and Anticipation are the same emotion with different flavors.
It doesn’t take much for me to slip from one to the other.
So. I choose.
Anything Imaginable.
What will I do next? What can I do? What am I good at?
Maybe most importantly: What do I WANT?
I can make list after list of things I DON’T want, but this is much harder. It’s an exercise I’ve taken months to explore in my email series on The Artist’s Way [sign up at linseyewing.com/get-access and receive some writing freebies!]
In May, we entered the chapter of Possibility, and I had no idea what was coming. Next month, it’s Abundance, and I have a feeling I’m in for a wild ride with that one, too.
By Whom?
Here’s another nugget of wisdom I’ve used before: If it’s possible, it can be done, and if it can be done, it can be done by you.
YOU/Me/US
So, if anything is possible and I can do it, that’s great news, but what is IT?
I think that’s what we’ll be exploring here in the coming months.
Stay Tuned.

Courses STARTING NEXT WEEK!
LIVING WRITE and EDIT SOBER are 5-week courses that include a guided journal with practical prompts and exercises to keep you moving forward every day for more than a month. Asynchronous courses are also available!
EACH week of each course has a theme that brings you closer to your goal, freebies and exercises for the assist, and group/individual coaching for the win!
BOTH courses come with a guided journal for 31 days of self-care, intention and motivation, and follow-through tracking.
LIVING WRITE:
LIVING WRITE: I built LIVING WRITE to go from IDEA to FINISHED DRAFT in as little as a month. First, we flesh out our idea(s). We begin to practice putting aside time for our craft. Then we move through our space and supplies to evaluate what we’ve got and what we need. Finally, we set in motion the perfect-for-you routine that will get your project done and dusted for good this time.
LIVING WRITE is for ANYONE starting or refreshing ANY CREATIVE routine AND/OR ready to FINALLY FINISH a first draft of any project.
LIVING WRITE INTEREST FORM: This is NOT a commitment. There is NO obligation. Only Interest.
EDIT SOBER:
EDIT SOBER: I built EDIT SOBER to go from a “Dirty Draft” to an as-polished-as-I-can-get-it manuscript ready for another reader. Similar to LIVING WRITE, we start with the evaluation of what we have and need. Then we move through the manuscript at least twice: once for fun and once (or more) with intention. Finally, we start a new, clean second (or third or whatever!) draft that we build from the blocks of our previous work.
EDIT SOBER is for WRITERS ready to whip a “Dirty Draft” into shape for ALPHA or BETA Readers or an Editor. The course may also work for OTHER CREATIVE ENDEAVORS that are STUCK or need a SYSTEMATIC APPROACH to revisiting an older work.
EDIT SOBER INTEREST FORM: This is NOT a commitment. There is NO obligation. Only Interest.
