WEBVTT NOTE This file was generated by Descript 00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:01.860 Hey, it's Julie here. 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.720 You're getting Saturday morning, Julie here. 00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:10.830 I know that you were thinking about joining superstars and that something 00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:15.750 happened between the thought and taking action, and for some reason you felt like 00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:19.470 you couldn't make that leap right now. 00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:26.070 I have something I, I, I hate to think of you sitting out there all by yourself 00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:29.680 going, you know, weeks, months, without. 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.550 Something to pull you back to your writing. 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.180 So I have something that I think might be of interest to you today, but I 00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:42.720 just wanna say, first of all, I'm sorry if I failed to communicate to 00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:48.269 you the what happens when you invest. 00:00:49.184 --> 00:00:50.055 in yourself. 00:00:50.355 --> 00:00:53.745 I heard from some of you that it, it's just really hard for you to do that, 00:00:54.315 --> 00:00:59.775 and I heard from others that you weren't sure about where to find that kind of 00:00:59.775 --> 00:01:03.614 investment right now and that you're working towards finding it later. 00:01:03.620 --> 00:01:04.334 So, great. 00:01:05.054 --> 00:01:06.933 And I really hope to see you next time we open up. 00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:12.630 But for some of us, it's about giving ourselves the permission for some of us 00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:16.560 we're, we just feel like we're not doing enough as writers to justify jumping 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.300 into a big commitment like superstars. 00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:21.390 For some of you, I think I didn't do a good job explaining what. 00:01:22.245 --> 00:01:24.975 You know, was involved, the time commitment. 00:01:24.975 --> 00:01:28.155 It's kind of, it's as much as you want, as little as you want and whether, 00:01:28.155 --> 00:01:29.355 you know, different time zones. 00:01:29.355 --> 00:01:34.695 We have lots of stuff, but I feel like if I failed some way to give you 00:01:34.695 --> 00:01:40.395 the push you needed when you really wanted to, to do this I, I apologize. 00:01:40.395 --> 00:01:41.757 I'll try and do better next time. 00:01:42.135 --> 00:01:46.905 I really feel like it's my job to pull you in and. 00:01:47.505 --> 00:01:52.455 Give you a reason to stop listening to your excuses and the voices in your head. 00:01:52.875 --> 00:01:56.625 So having said that, you didn't come into superstars this, this time round. 00:01:56.625 --> 00:01:58.695 We're, we're getting set up, we're getting everybody. 00:01:58.695 --> 00:02:01.065 I'm doing one-on-one calls with people and it's, it's, you 00:02:01.070 --> 00:02:02.475 know, it's a pretty cool group. 00:02:02.865 --> 00:02:08.175 And I hope that maybe next time you'll be one of them, but I really 00:02:08.175 --> 00:02:09.014 don't wanna leave you out there. 00:02:09.014 --> 00:02:11.613 You, you've, you're serious enough about your writing that you. 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.950 Clicked on, you know, the, the page to see what was involved in superstars. 00:02:17.220 --> 00:02:21.150 And for whatever reason, it wasn't for you this time round, but I really want you to. 00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:26.190 Keep showing up for your writing and that's why I've put together, You 00:02:26.190 --> 00:02:27.330 may have heard me talking about it. 00:02:27.690 --> 00:02:30.120 I've put together the StoryAWeek newsletter. 00:02:30.390 --> 00:02:37.020 It is a writing prompt and a a lesson that comes into your inbox every. 00:02:37.425 --> 00:02:40.425 Week and just reminds you, you're a writer. 00:02:40.695 --> 00:02:42.015 You could write something this week. 00:02:42.045 --> 00:02:44.475 Here are some thoughts on how you could write something this week. 00:02:44.805 --> 00:02:47.235 And it doesn't come with all a community. 00:02:47.235 --> 00:02:51.825 It doesn't come with all of the bells and whistles, but it is a little nudge every 00:02:51.830 --> 00:02:56.685 week to show up for yourself, and it is. 00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:00.900 Unlike superstars, only the cost of a frothy coffee every week. 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.220 And you can sign up and I will send you prompts for a month or for the next 00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:12.060 quarter, So I just wanted to extend that offer to you today because I, I, 00:03:12.370 --> 00:03:15.810 I was sad that you're not with us in superstars, and I think you might be too. 00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:20.070 But I want to keep us close and maybe next time you'll join us. 00:03:21.585 --> 00:03:22.395 , this is what you need. 00:03:23.385 --> 00:03:29.475 This is the, this is the best, the second best thing that I can offer right now. 00:03:29.535 --> 00:03:31.545 And it's something that I've intentionally made. 00:03:32.295 --> 00:03:36.645 There's there is an investment because I think we need to get used 00:03:36.650 --> 00:03:41.505 to treating our writing with respect and investing in ourselves, but it's 00:03:41.505 --> 00:03:44.097 low investment, so it's not a barrier. 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.000 The, the vast majority of people. 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.420 And it also means you're getting my best work because I know Yeah, you're 00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:56.250 out there waiting for it and you know, when you plunk down an investment in 00:03:56.250 --> 00:03:59.100 your, I, I, I feel, I feel responsible. 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:03.504 So follow the links, if you have any questions, let me know. 00:04:03.504 --> 00:04:05.469 And of
