"I just want to write," she all but snarled onto the page.


I opened the thirteenth email in just under two weeks and read those words again.

Jill, I just want to write.

For so many people to be emailing me the same five (sometimes six) words and asking for my guidance to do just that (and get paid) made me press pause.

Since my tutoring-business days I have always operated one way: find a need and fill it.

This seemed like a pretty big (thirteen person) need.

Which got me a-thinking . . .

What if I conducted an experiment, live and in real time—one month, maybe twelve—to see what happens when I rebuild a writing life from scratch?

And document it.

A behind-the-scenes, pull-back-the-curtain, part-memoir, part how-to, part-story, look at how you can get paid for writing and being you.

What’s possible one year from now?

Well gosh, now I’m flipping interested.

So I’m doing something a little crazy.

I’m calling it Between the Sheets—a Friday word-drop experiment.

One messy, magical dispatch each week as I explore what it means to start over, create again, and build a word-business that actually works.

Something that might blow up like a firecracker display—a cascade of JOYful color shooting over the inky, night sky.

Or maybe a mic-drop dud, barely heard but still beautiful.

Either way, I’m in for the next four Fridays . . .

And right about now, you’re probably asking—what the blipity-blip is she even writing about?!

If you’re a writer, dreamer, or creative misfit who’s lost your rhythm . . .

Maybe you're standing at life-or-career crossroads . . .

Or deep in the messy-middle—you’ll want to come with me and read my Friday words—Between the Sheets.

All the deets of what really goes on between the pages of a word-centered, creative business.

Because yes, you can write AND get paid AND start over, OR again, at ANY age.

Imagine seeing exactly how I’d spend my time “just writing” and “getting paid for it.”

Just real, raw, behind-the-scenes storytelling—showing you how I write words, create a variety of “things”, and my words, and those “things” make bank.

And how they help a sh*t-load of people—from the transformative to the purely entertaining.

If you’ve ever wondered about writing PDFs and selling them, I can dish on it.

Or starting an email list from scratch (and why it still matters).

What about finally finishing a book, spinning it into an offer—yep, that too.

And turning a book into a PRIVATE podcast . . . interesting, no?

I’m about to do just that.

Wanna read behind-the-scenes as I do?

Creativity is so varied, and—take it from me, a plate-spinning, multi-offer, prolific creator—sometimes the work is in learning how to say no to chaos and yes to structured ease.

Or simply discover one’s creative flow again.
Or for the very first time.

One Friday at a time.

I’m giving it a month—four weeks—to see what happens.

Let’s call it dating before a commitment.

If it resonates with those thirteen (and you), I’ll keep going for the year.

So much is possible. And it all starts on Friday.

Tomorrow, I’ll tell you what happened when I finally stopped thinking about how my writing could make bank—and just wrote again, with JOY.

P.S. First Episode of BTS drops tomorrow morning. Bring your coffee, your curiosity, and join me Between the Sheets.

P.P.S. Your feedback will help me decide if this little word-experiment keeps rolling. Hit reply after you read and tell me—are you in for this next four-week ride?

I purple pen words about living one's most delicious life. For me that means island living, rescuing baby goats, and (ghost)writing NYTimes Bestsellers. And I'm all about JOY.
