IDEA CAMP ⛺️
6 weeks of making more and doing less (and with s’mores!)
Do you ever feel like…
🔬 You’re Humming and hawing over HOW to start
🌱 You’ve got ideas, but having a nervy b about joe shmoe from highschool thinking your latest substack essay is “cringe”
🎺 you’re supposed to have an action plan to write the magnum opus but you're twiddling your thumbs trying to figure out how you’re supposed to be spending the 45 minutes of free time you actually have
🏋️♂️ You made filmed the vlog, pulled the notes from the notes app into a working doc, but you’re scared of working hard a YT video to only get 6 views
🐛 your “lack of structure” (derogatory) or prompting makes the “idea phase” to “book in hand” feel like a massive chasm to leap
⚡️You’re having 58,282 great ideas before you’ve hit the “brew” button on the coffee machine each morning. But, you’re second guessing your own creative genius before you even give those ideas a chance to come to life.
👼 you’re up late googling “perfect podcasting mic that will surely grant me much success and make my skin perfect too, and make my mother (finally) love me”.
🍰 You’ve bought the ingredients for the cake, laid them out on the counter, and then got overwhelmed/distracted/frustrated and walked away.
👻 Your half read copy of The Artist Way that you’re using as nightstand alternative is haunting you in your sleep, like you can HEAR mama Julia Cameron laughing at you. Surely you’re just creatively “blocked”?
🌀 You’re sitting on the edge of the pool, wanting to jump in but like… everyone else already has 1M views on Tik Tok, it’s probably too late to even try and everyone is “more talented”, so you just sitting at the edge watching everyone else swim.
🔬 Researching and overanalyzing the “best way” to start your next project and getting stuck in analysis paralysis – so you just…don’t start (or finish).
IDEA CAMP
Your idea being IN the world is not only IMPORTANT NEEDED AND VALUABLE, you deserve to give yourself time, space, and quite honestly a break.
We know doing LESS (in literally every sense of that word) = your idea in the world. Beating yourself up, hyper vigilant mode probably served you at SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE, we have no doubt in that. It probably made you the boundary queen hottie you are today. But also, that part doesn’t need to be involved in helping you write your magnum opus, and tbh it’s stopping you from it. Staying hyper vigilant about how/what it is that you need to create is just torturing yourself. Your story deserves to be told, but getting caught in the HOW, HOW, HOW of it keeps us in analysis paralysis, telling our brains we are not to be trusted. Your creativity knows otherwise. The tools of HOW something comes to be doesn’t matter. The illusion of choice is real. So let’s act accordingly.
You deserve to…
Get paid to write
Get funding for your project
Hang their work on the wall
Have the satisfaction of holding your book in your hands
Land the audition
To be seen in some way

Here is the thing. We fundamentally believe we are all artists. Like if you work at a big glossy building in a grey suit, you are an artist. If that is a title you don’t wanna claim yet, that’s not our business.
BUT if you’re actually saying:
“I have an office job that isn’t creative!”
“I don’t make money selling my art.”
“I never wanna sell my art!”
“I am not a conventional “creative” person.”
We are so excited and ready to work with you! If you have a little spark inside you to create something and usher it into this world, you my friend, are an artist.

YOU bet your sweet butt there will be! Recordings will be sent out 24ish hours after (we are human women, not robots).
