If you’ve been writing for years but still hesitate to trust what comes out, you’re not alone. Many thoughtful, imaginative people write regularly yet feel uncertain about their voice, their authority, or whether what they’re doing truly matters. They start and stop. They circle the work. They wait for confidence to arrive.

This training exists for that moment.

Write What You (Don’t)  Know is a 10-week Imaginative Storm Writer Training for people who feel genuinely called to write and are ready for a clear, supportive way forward. This is not a course about fixing your writing. It’s a practice for developing trust—in your imagination, your instincts, and your voice.

Working in a small, live cohort, you’ll write each week in ways that reduce self-censorship and overthinking. Over time, fear doesn’t disappear; it simply becomes less relevant. What takes its place is momentum, clarity, and a writing practice you can rely on.

The Imaginative Storm method is grounded in attention, sensation, and curiosity rather than judgment. You’ll write from lived experience—memory, place, observation, and emotional truth—learning how stories gather strength when you stop trying to control them and allow them to emerge.

This work is exceptionally well-suited to writers in midlife and beyond—people who have lived intensely, thought deeply, and are ready to bring that life onto the page with more ease and confidence.

By the end of ten weeks, you won’t just have new pages. You’ll have a way of working that continues long after the course ends.

Who This Training Is For

This course is for you if:

• You’ve been writing for years, but don’t fully trust your voice yet

• You start projects, but struggle to stay with them

• You overthink or censor yourself before the work can take shape

• You’re drawn to writing rooted in lived experience—memoir, personal essay, fiction, or hybrid forms

• You want a serious, humane writing practice rather than formulas or performance

Who This Training Is Not For

This course may not be a fit if:

• You’re looking for quick tricks or templates

• You want a competitive critique or external validation

• You prefer rule-based or highly technical instruction

• You’re unable to commit to showing up and writing each week

What Changes Over 10 Weeks

• You write with greater freedom and confidence, trusting your instincts as you go

• Your inner critic loses authority, and writing becomes more fluid and enjoyable

• You develop a deeper, more reliable connection to your voice and imagination

• Writing becomes consistent rather than sporadic

• You feel renewed purpose and genuine joy in your writing life

About the Training

This is a live, small-group course limited to 10 participants.

Sessions meet weekly on Zoom and include writing prompts, guided exploration, and conversation.

The training covers core elements of story and meaning—voice, sensation, setting, memory, character, narrative movement, and thematic tension—without forcing or formula.

Many participants describe this course as equivalent to the first year of an MFA experience, offered in a more humane, imaginative, and accessible way.
