Hello, !

When it comes to writing, are you in the "I need a good idea" camp? Or are you on the "I've got too many ideas! Which will I choose" team? 

If you are camped out in "I need a good idea," then come to Writing Table tomorrow, and I'll give you a prompt to help you generate ideas!

If you are Team "Which idea will I choose?!" Then I want to share this short article with you.

See, this is my team. I am an IDEA FACTORY. Most mornings I have more ideas before breakfast than I can implement in a month. So I was grateful when my writing coach pointed me to this article several years ago. It is a helpful and honest path to deciding what deserves my focus and attention. 

Whichever camp or team is yours, come sort it out tomorrow on #FreeWrite Friday! I think you will love writing alongside this amazing, supportive and energizing community! We've got space for you at the Writing Table. 

Your Zoom link is below. 

Times: 9a ET / 8a CT / 7a MT / 6a PT

See what Brian Vaszily has to say about this!

If you join Baptized & Ordained by Sunday night 9/24, we have a BONUS for you!**

Something that bugs the hell out of me? That women and lgbtiqa+ ministers still have to spend so much energy in so many places to even be able to show up and have space to be seen and heard. 

What are going to do about it? 

I hope you will become part of our new learning community and think with me about this reality. Baptized and Ordained is my latest book-in-progress and also a community of people who care about how ministry and church remain challenging and are also being changed by leadership from women and lgbtiqa+ clergy over the last 60 years. 

I want to connect with you and all the people who care about women and lgbitqa+ people who are baptized and called to ministry. It's a year-long experience! Join us! 

Register by October 1!

Watch this short video to learn more. Then visit the Baptized & Ordained registration page. 

** BONUS: Join by Sunday 9/24 and get a download with eight reflection questions for your practice of ministry! I think you'll love them. 

Two new downloads for writers 

in the 3MMM shop! Just $7 each.

How does the Writing Table work? 

Writing is solitary work, but it is best done in community. Ironic, but true. Over the last three years, I've been cultivating a community of writers who join me at the Writing Table most mornings. We are building good writing habits. Not binging or rushing, but doing our work patiently and with support. 

The Writing Table is a place for you! If you join for a year, it is less than $3 per week.

Coaching and Writing Table Options 

I started coaching writers 10 years ago. Maybe you are in a time when you are ready for personalized coaching for your project? Here are some options for you to work with me.

1. Coaching + Writing Table: Sessions of individual coaching to help you with planning and carrying out your writing. Every coaching session includes 3 months of membership at the Writing Table.

2. Developmental Coaching + Writing Table: Sessions of individual coaching to support your writing habits and also reading and feedback on your current writing project. Every session includes three (3) months of membership at the Writing Table.

3. Writing Table Only Annual Membership: Keep building your habits of consistent writing for the entire year. Twelve months of space at the writing Table most every weekday for less than 60 cents per day. An amazing way to support your habit of writing!

4. Writing Table for a Month. Maybe you just have one project or you would rather try out pay by the month. What would it be like to give a solid hour a day to your writing practice? For just $20 you can try it and see. What is holding you back?

Just $20 per month or $150 for the year

The Story of How it Began

Starting in March 2020, I began offering a Writing Table for students, ministers, and professors. Lots of people needed to write during those early days of the pandemic, and yet everything was so exhausting and distracting. [read more]
