Hello and welcome to Soul Sauce Writing. A three week course exclusively delivered to you here on Substack.
What does this mean?
The world is banana pants right now. So for three weeks, you will receive an invitation to write your little booty off.
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 realize there is nothing “wrong” with us - and in fact, are doing a good job being human.
So this is me, inviting you to give it a whirl.
Love,
Michelle

💜Possible Jump Off Lines
(Choose one or all of them)
It’ so hard to admit our real desires…
I’m letting myself believe…
It terrifies me…
What I want is to…
No one talks about it…
💜How was it? I’m so curious to know! Please feel free to share your favorite sentence or your entire piece in the comments section. We don’t offer ANY feedback - rather sacred witnessing.
