The Writing Journey

Inspiration from my friend Jenny

Wed, 27 May 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Are you feeling dogged about finishing a book? Is publication your main marker of success as a writer?

Listen to this episode to hear about my dear friend Jenny, who taught me about the aliveness of creativity, and how our measure of success as writers need not be narrow.

P.S. You can meet Jenny through her writing. Please read Jenny’s story Ripe for Rhapsody on page 25 (page 27 in the PDF) here: https://virl.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Sea-and-Cedar-Fall-2024-DIGITAL-ISSUE.pdf

What is Deep Reading??

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Reading like a writer is a critical skill for being a writer.

It enables you to look at your own work and know what it needs.

It enables you to understand the craft choices that you’ve made, and offers the opportunity to make different ones.

It allows you to finish your story and edit it, before sending it off for someone else.

If you’re ready to level up, make sure you’re on the waitlist for the Embodied Story Intensive. This is a 6 month deep dive program where you’ll learn how to build the muscle of reading like a writer. And I guarantee, your work will never be the same.

Why Practice Embodied Writing??

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Embodied writing means accessing your truest story. Even in fiction.

Embodied writing makes your story nuanced and complex and interesting–just like life–so that it resonates with your reader.

If you’re ready to dive into embodied writing, check out the Embodied Story Intensive. It’s a 6-month deep dive where you’ll learn somatic practices that will help guide you to the inner workings of your story, and how to get emotional truths on the page in a resonant and artful way.
