friendship matters
A quick reminder before I get into today’s post: I am currently enrolling in The Inner Story Writing Circle — Mastermind cohort. August through October, I am facilitating this small group coaching cohort for writers and creatives who are seeking personalized support for a creative project or goal. In addition to the small group coaching and individual coaching sessions, you also get access to all the core Inner Story Writing Circle sessions during the three months you’re in the program. There are two spots left.
If you’re new here, Story Work is the name of my current book-in-progress. It describes a process of reflecting, reclaiming, and reimagining the stories of our lives. It involves looking at your life experiences as creative material that you have the power to shape.
The weekly story work topics cover universal life themes with references from literature, philosophy, science, and spirituality; offering perspectives that spark ideas for personal growth and creative expression.
Paid subscribers receive Story Work exercises every Sunday night at 8 pm et.
friendship matters
She craves men but women are her most abiding lovers.
Her friends are her soul mates, all the love without the consumption of sex and romance, a different kind of intimacy.

Think about the childhood friend that you don't talk to anymore. The college friend who betrayed you. The one who held your hand when you miscarried or stood beside you when you got married. The ride-or-die squad that grew apart. Partners in crime. Companions in discovery. These are our friendships and frenemies, bonds broken or unbreakable. Writing about friendship can be a healing and rewarding part of your writing journey, but it can also be complicated.
