​About the Writing Circle Sessions

​​Have you been thinking about starting a blog, composing an article for LinkedIn or drafting up a memoir? Or, maybe you are simply dreaming about dusting off your old diary from junior high to capture your thoughts, observations, feelings and daydreams.

​​​The reality is, as soon as we go to reach for that pen (or laptop), many of us experience loads of questions, doubts or challenges.

​​​You may be taunted by that blinking cursor on a blank page or perhaps you have begun to hear that quiet (or not-so-quiet) voice inside asking "just who do you think you are?" Maybe you're questioning if there's really a space for your voice in the sea of content out there or wondering if anyone would even want to hear what you have to say.

​​​Or, perhaps, you just don't know where to begin. Or where to end. Or what to do in between.

​​​Here's the good news:

​​​1- This is all totally normal

​​​2- You don't have to go it alone.

​​​Join Kim, Founder of The Open Book Company, for an informal, comfortable and welcoming space for you to explore your desire to share your words with the world (or to simply get them down on paper).

​​​NO PRESSURE/EXPECTATION TO SHARE YOUR WRITING.

​​​NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.

​​​Agenda for the (90 minute) Writing Circle:

​​​Welcome, tips/resources, writing prompts and intention-setting

​​​Independent writing (with 1 built-in break, depending on session length)

​​​Closing + sharing (optional)
