Look at that. Two ecourses in one week. The first one, the book writing ecourse, took for-eh-va to build. After I posted it, I had feedback from a few people who wanted to adopt a writing practice but didn’t necessarily want to sign up for a book writing course.

I get it. Book Writing. Sounds worky. 

Plus back in 2010, I started my own creative writing journey by making a New Year’s resolution to write in my journal every day for a year so I totally understand. Writing for a year led to quitting my job, traveling, meeting the lovely Christophe, books, glory… and a lot of cheese. Oh the joys of French cheese.

So if you like cheese, sign up. 

Just kidding. Sort of. Maybe not. We’ll see how it goes.

A Writing Year is a 52-week ecourse, starting January 1st. Each week there is a new lesson that includes a topic, inspiring prose written by yours truly, plus a few open-ended questions to provoke thought and get those thoughts on the page. So if you’ve liked my writing thus far, the course is like a really long blog post that lasts all year, but divided into complete and luscious bite-size pieces. (and not nearly as salesy as this post)

I’m doing this course for a few reasons. A little bit for you, based on the feedback about the book writing course, but also, now that a few big projects are done (the letter writing, the new book), I wanted to write nicely about each week of the year. I suspect near July there will be a lot of prose regarding tomatoes. I do so enjoy growing tomatoes. I’ll try to keep my tomato obsession to a minimum.

If you want to be swept away by the NICE things about going through the seasons of 2021, join me. It’s $97 USD and I think it will be a very good time to delight ourselves with quiet contemplation over a pen and paper. Already, I’ve been indulging in creating ads for it.

Because I love the orange journal.

Because the coffee, blanket, journal trifecta is perfection.

Because I like the gold, pink combo so I’m willing to overlook the heavy-handled pen.

And because yellow is cheerful and we could all use some cheer. Pantone agrees. The Pantone Color of the Year is a Yellow and Grey Combo:
