In 2018, I had this idea to do a Write & Sip, but I allowed fear to hold me back from creating it. At the top of 2019, I told @kyinny about the Write & Sip and she invited me to host it in her space (@suite 607) and we locked in a date. It was too late to turn back. 🖊
On April 20, 2019 my FIRST Write & Sip happened. My guests said sharing stories about love, broken hearts, growth and confessions was therapeutic + entertaining. With each writing prompt, I encouraged them to think beyond what was on the page, to go deeper with that what seemed obvious. The result was humbling. It’s never easy to share your truth in a room full of strangers and these BRAVE scribes did it despite tears and laughter. One guest suggested that I change the title to Write, Sip & Chat because of all the great conversation starters. 🖊
My plan was to assemble a group of writers and aspiring writers to connect and share. The result was beyond what I had imagined and my fear was just false energy appearing real. 🖊
Oh, and my shirt (another one of my ideas) says it all: I’m a Write or Die Chick, Not Ride Or Die Chick. #Sorrynotsorry some things aren’t worth dying for. 📸 @meanjeanius ...
