Dear @Julianne Anderson suggested over the weekend that I post some personal stuff. Well, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about some of my favourite Skool communities. One of my very favourites is Money & Growth for Women. I’ve learned so much and am actually now a Premium member. Via her coaching sessions I’m now in the process of clarifying my offers, among other powerful practical steps I’m taking. https://www.skool.com/money-growth-for-women-2353/about?ref=90828f0efdf34938b881bcd36ff1df39 Another fave is also for women. But it’s so much more: mutually supportive, warm. Great networking. If you’re tired of being the smartest but brokest person in the room, give BYOB a try. https://www.skool.com/byob/about?ref=90828f0efdf34938b881bcd36ff1df39 I’ve recently resurrected my Substack. It’s called Five Weddings and a Funeral, and via articles and posts, I tell my journey through yes, all those marriages, and then the final one that broke my heart. I’ve learned so much about the how-to’s re Substack, and how to build visibility via this Skool: https://www.skool.com/substack-starter-space-4774/about?ref=90828f0efdf34938b881bcd36ff1df39 Aha, then there’s YouTube. I’ve been playing around in my head for absolute ages about the why and how and have started to tip my toe into that journey. And I now already have five videos and 15 subscribers! I’ve learned so much and aim - shortly - to start monetising my channel. Here’s a Skool that took me by the (metaphorical) hand: https://www.skool.com/vault/about?ref=90828f0efdf34938b881bcd36ff1df39

I noticed a pattern recently. When giving style feedback, I keep making the same notes. Over and over again. The same handful of habits. The same minor slips. I will demonstrate what those mistakes are. And then I will show you how to swap them out for a stronger writing style. No theory. Just transformation. I will rewrite your examples. You will see the night-and-day difference. You will leave with an immediate grasp on how to elevate your prose. It is a simple fix. And for the writers I mentor, it works. It brings immediate positive feedback. And in the long run? More readers. And better reviews. READY TO ELEVATE YOUR STYLE? Comment "I'M IN" and I’ll DM you.

Let’s be completely honest for a moment. We have all stared at a blank screen, watching the cursor blink back at us. That’s when we wished we had a personal assistant sitting at the desk to help us kick-start the next paragraph. When you are trying to capture the elusive memory of a dish, the words can sometimes feel frustratingly out of reach. But what if you didn’t have to face the blank page entirely alone? Artificial Intelligence is no longer just for tech enthusiasts; when used correctly, it is a brilliant, intuitive tool for creative writers. It isn't about letting a machine write your personal stories for you—because a robot hasn't tasted your grandmother's stew or smelled the wet sand of your favourite coast. It is about using AI to shatter writer's block, organise your scattered thoughts, and polish your prose. Here is how AI can actually elevate your culinary storytelling: - The Ultimate Brainstormer 🧠 – Struggling to find a different word for "delicious" or "rich"? AI can instantly give you a list of sensory, evocative adjectives to play with. - The Structural Assistant 🏗️ – If you have a chaotic heap of recipe notes and memories, you can feed them to AI and ask it to help you organise them into a clean, logical outline. - The Editing Partner 📝 – You can paste a raw draft and ask, "How can I make this sentence sound more atmospheric?" or "Help me tighten the rhythm of this paragraph." Over to you! 👇 I want to make sure our Classroom gives you absolutely everything you need to succeed. So, I have a question for you: - Would you like me to add a brand-new module on how to use AI when you write your culinary stories? Cast your vote or share your thoughts in the comments below! Tell me if you’re already experimenting with AI, if you’re curious but completely unsure where to start, or if you'd love a step-by-step guide to making it your creative co-pilot. Let’s chat! (Whether you want to write using traditional methods or embrace modern tools, the goal remains the same: getting your unique voice onto the page).
