I&#8217;ve been adding a minute a day. \u00a0Today my goal is 22 minutes, and writing this update you is going to help me get my sticker for the day. Pre-losing mom I worked in 25 minute writing blocks. I&#8217;d do between 1-4 twenty-five-writing-blocks five days a week. May take me a few months to get back to that level, but I&#8217;ll get there.<\/p>\n<p>(Over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jessicaconoley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram I&#8217;ve been posting daily accountability<\/a> posts detailing how I&#8217;ve been getting back into work mode.)<\/p>\n<p>The first day I worked on the fiction I&#8217;ve been sharing through<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/jessicaconoley\"> Patreon.<\/a> But 90% of the days have been spent on business\/non-fiction writing. I have 16 months of business catch-up to do so there&#8217;s A LOT of writing &amp; course creation to move off the back burner.<\/p>\n<p>I was accepted to a grant program two months ago for a coaching methodology related to mental fitness. I wrapped that class up last week and found it to be HUGELY beneficial in those weeks when I was under a ton of stress and anxiety and dealing with grief. \u00a0Because it was so immediately beneficial to my mental health, I&#8217;ve decided to get certified as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.positiveintelligence.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Positive Intelligence (PQ) coach<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My coaching program was very strong in business and writing craft, but the mental health component is something I really wanted to lean into for all of my clients. The integration of PQ into my group programs is the final component I needed and I&#8217;m really excited roll it out to my classes. My goal is to help people achieve their creative dreams AND be happy\/enjoy life while they&#8217;re doing it.<\/p>\n<p>OK, here&#8217;s what&#8217;s coming up that you can learn from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>This is a class for anyone who wants to improve their mental health. <\/strong>I&#8217;m running a 6 week pilot class of just the mental health component. Class is beginning early October, and I have two more seats available. You&#8217;ll do a large portion of it self-directed via an app on your phone. I&#8217;ll facilitate a group meeting once a week. Again, this is not a writer specific thing, but writers what we learn happens to apply directly to character motivation &amp; should help you with character arcs. If you want to join the mental fitness class email me ASAP. Class starts 10\/8\/22.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>FREE writers conferences October 1st &amp; mid-November.<\/strong> Both need registration. You can attend both virtually. I have all the details for you over at <a href=\"https:\/\/thecreativesapprentice.com\/upcoming-events-sep-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Creative&#8217;s Apprentice blog. <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>January 2023 is when our next 16 week Group Author Coaching class begins. It WILL include the new mental health integration and a TON of other stuff. If you&#8217;re even mildly curious <a href=\"https:\/\/thecreativesapprentice.com\/how-tca-can-help-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">go to this blog post,<\/a> scroll to the Group Author Coaching session and see all the stuff you learn. \u00a0Then book a discovery call with me or Natasha. Space is limited. I&#8217;m telling you guys about it before I start doing all these conferences and new people start asking for a spot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>April 27, 2023 I have THE biggest teaching opportunity I&#8217;ve ever had in my life. I&#8217;ll release details later, but I&#8217;ve been working on this for two years. And when I got the invitation I had a proper hard-core call everyone I know moment (and then I cried for a day-and-a-half because I couldn&#8217;t tell my mom. Grief comes when you least expect it.) If you&#8217;ve never seen me before a live audience this is the place to come, this is a huge level-up for me and I would love to have your friendly face in the Zoom crowd.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once I&#8217;ve ramped up to full speed writing levels again this newsletter may resume on a more consistent basis. In the meantime thanks for supporting me, and I hope you have a great day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 1st, I started by writing for 5 minutes.
