forget outlines—100 cells become a memoir

class open now; early bird method ends on 8/31

Every autumn has the same energy, and I'm usually sort-of here for it and sort-of not: the smell of fresh notebooks, that "this year will be different" excitement, and the inevitable crash when your body reminds you that you're not actually someone who can "power through" like the productivity gurus insist.

You know the feeling—that perfect cocktail of possibility and panic as September starts breathing down our necks, bringing with it all those ambitious plans that usually crumble by October 15th (or is that just me?).

That's why I'm opening enrollment for The Cell Method—and before you roll your eyes at another "writing productivity" system, hear me out. This isn't for the 5am-club-journal-every-morning crowd. It's for writers who understand that some days you have fifteen minutes between doctor's appointments, and some days you have nothing at all.

Think of it as the chronic illness/caregiving/real-life version of back-to-school prep, except instead of color-coded planners that mock you from your nightstand, you're investing in a writing practice that works with your unpredictable life:

• Write in cells, not marathons—because 15 minutes lying in bed with brain fog counts, and I'll show you exactly how to make those minutes add up to finished essays and eventually, a complete memoir

• Master five different cell types—Scene cells for clear days, Bridge cells for brain fog days, and three more types that match different cognitive states (because we both know "just write" isn't helpful when your brain is mush)

• Build a book without an outline—using a method where 100 standalone cells naturally connect into a 50,000-word memoir, no grand plan required

And to help you skip the "but I've already failed at every other writing system" spiral? This 90-minute masterclass includes live demonstrations where we'll write two cells together, plus access to our private community where nobody will ever tell you to "just push through" or "write before the kids wake up" (as if that's remotely helpful advice).

Whether you're writing from bed, stealing moments while caregiving, or working around a body that has its own timeline, this is your chance to build a writing practice that honors your actual life, not the fantasy version where you have unlimited energy and zero responsibilities.

No guilt trips required.

Remember when your biggest writing worry was whether to use Times New Roman or Arial? Now look at you—navigating chronic illness, caregiving responsibilities, and still showing up for your creative work when you can.

You don't need another system that makes you feel inadequate. You need one that sees you exactly as you are.

Register for The Class Method masterclass right now, during the early bird period, and pay $77 instead of $97, which will be the new price on September 1. I'm thrilled to be sharing this, and I'm thrilled to be sharing it with you.

All the love,

P.S. Virginia Woolf wrote many of her essays in brief bursts between bouts of illness. Flannery O'Connor created her fiction while managing lupus, often writing for just two hours in the morning. The fifteen-minute session isn't a compromise—it's a completely valid creative practice that has produced some of literature's most powerful work. 📝

P.P.S. This is a 90-minute masterclass that you can watch whenever works for you. Because we both know that "starting" is a flexible concept when you're living with limitations.
