Hello and welcome to Soul Sauce Writing. A five week course exclusively delivered to you here on Substack.
What does this mean?
Each week, I will read different poems to you, offering them like medicine. Then I will present jump off lines. Finally, a timer will be set, and you will write whatever comes through you, releasing it onto the page. Without editing, crossing out, or seeking to "be good enough". Simply put: pen to paper for the allotted amount of time.
Soul Sauce Writing is a practice of noticing, paying attention, and listening. Over time, my hope is that we all begin to notice how this gentle observing carries over into other areas of our lives. We embody more presence. We become more calm. We begin heal ourselves one word at a time.
So this is me, inviting you to give it a whirl. I believe in you little Love Sprinkler. You’ve got this.
Love,
Michelle
Welcome to Day 4 of Soul Sauce Writing. This is a no pressure invitation to have fun and hit the writing release valve. Today's piece is inspired from the poem: Joy Chose You by Donna Ashworth.
After listening, please pick one of the following jump off lines and write for 10 minutes. A great line to use when you're feeling stuck: what I really want you to know.
Possible Jump Off Lines
Joy sneaks in...
The cracks of your imperfect life...
Be ready when she appears...
If you really knew me, you would know...
