(extension plan)
A self-paced series of prompts, sentence stems, musings, provocations and editing frameworks designed to help you move beyond “what should I post?” and into the far more interesting territory of:
What do I actually think?
If you bought the birthday special: this is your upgrade. Stay for the full experience and get 100 days of prompts, practices, thinking points and editing frameworks — or stick with your 38 days, and no more prompts will arrive after today.
A new prompt unlocks daily, Mon–Fri · 100 writing days
This is special access to 100 days of the infamous Sweet Talk writing challenge, where a new prompt unlocks daily, Monday to Friday, for 100 total writing days.
You’ll spend 100 days generating raw material, tracing your recurring preoccupations, developing ideas with enough muscle to stand without a trending audio and learning how to turn the best of them into essays, posts, newsletters and pieces of writing that could only have come from you.
There are no calls, no community, no cohort to keep pace with and no ongoing commitment. You own the experience inside the community space in Circle and move through it in your own time. Your prompts simply carry on opening daily, right from where you are.
You are a writer, founder, creative, strategist, coach, artist or professionally curious person who:
I have been writing professionally for almost two decades. The longer I do it, the less convinced I become that anybody graduates into being an expert.
You become better at returning, noticing and at staying with an unfinished thought after the first clever sentence has wandered off and left you to do the actual work.
This challenge gives you somewhere to practise that return.
No compulsory sharing. No requirement to make every day profitable. Plenty of structure if you do feel like sharing.
100 encounters with your own mind, and some very good tools for dealing with whatever you find in there.
