The magic that makes itself known to me through writing always comes from wandering, from allowing the unexpected and the surprising to unfold. From having no predefined shape or destination but rather a landscape to explore, and a sense…

A sense- of curiosity
A sense- of hope
A sense- of what the wanted surprise feels like.
And at times, even the sense of an otherworldly being or creature leading the way.

This what is able to lead me to places and things beyond my own imagination.

When the sense appears, the adventures begins.

You communicate with the sense by moving, taking a step, an action. And it responds with warmer or colder. Warmer means you’re getting closer, colder means you’re getting further. That’s it, the entire mechanism. Just like a childhood game of Hot-and-Cold.

It tells you one piece of information: “is this current step in the right direction?”.  And that’s the only piece of information you need. When you’re aiming to go somewhere beyond what even you can imagine.

Let me show you creative writing that’s imperfect
that’s unplanned
that’s playful
that’s expressive
that can build back your ability to engage with creativity
that serves as a tool you can use to support yourself through uncertain moments in life…

Let me show you that you’re capable of creating it.

I’m Janet. I offer creative writing coaching, creative writing experiments, and a world of stories to explore.

Do you miss creativity? Creative writing? Expression?
Do you notice your mind genuinely being less sharp, less creative? (maybe due to indulging in the temptations of AI, maybe due to growing older and assuming societies definition of an “adult”)

Do you want to experiment with writing, playfully?
Build back your ability to engage with the world creatively?
All while using writing as a tool to support yourself, wherever you are in life?
