I’m back for real this time. I’m mighty glad to see that the group grew by a bit while I was away. I hope the numbers continue to expand. The group was meant to challenge notions. Notions about writing and how it’s a separate process from mindfulness. News flash: it isn’t. How you feel is how you’ll write. One of my fave authors of all-time, the late great Christopher Hitchens suffered during the early days of his career. But he received a life-changing advice from a veteran at the time. It was simply this: “Write the way you speak.” And if you’re not, you got to ask yourself why. Are you trying too hard to impress your audience? Are you lost in semantics? Perhaps you’re even trying to conceal your lack of knowledge by drowning readers in flowery syntax. Whatever it is, don’t do it. Just write how you’d speak and your unique, authentic voice will show itself. Mindfulness is an essential for speaking well. It’s difficult to express yourself well if you’re bothered or distracted. That’s why I came up with this Skool. I want to remind writers that sometimes all it takes to write your most seminal work is simply to focus. And I hope that this group helps you achieve that. It’s not rocket science but it’s equally if not more life-changing (I know but only a few space enthusiasts in my decades). It’s the science of the self. And I hope this message reaches you loud and clear. Stay motivated.

My name is Alex and I am a writer in the PNW. I am super excited to be apart of this group and have other people that I can talk to to about my writing and also hear about others writing. What are you working on right now? What are you reading right now? Let me know! I would love to chat.

Your ideas aren’t the problem. Your editing is. Most writers don’t struggle with creativity. They struggle with clarity, structure, and flow. That’s where editing comes in. Editing isn’t just fixing grammar. It’s sharpening your message. It’s cutting the fluff. It’s making every sentence intentional. If your writing feels “almost there,” don’t rewrite everything. Refine it. Write boldly. Edit strategically.
