Which of these 8 things interests you?

Hi Reader,

In the interests of reaching more people more easily, I've built eight focused writing-instruction sprints. Each one is eight weeks. Each one comes with a Dare and an Exercise every week — real work you'll submit to me directly, and we'll talk through each of them as they come.

They're not passive emails. They're not a subscription service. They're a sprint, and you can see them at arough.trade/chains.

Here's what they are:

The Life — Everything writing school left out: money, taxes, the financial reality of being a writer, the tax identity you're already running whether you know it or not. For the writer who's tired of pretending the business doesn't exist.

The Craft — How to work with a single piece from start to finish. For the writer drowning in drafts or stuck on one that won't move.

The Secrets — The publishing business and how to navigate it. For the writer who wants to understand the industry before they're in crisis.

The Eye — How to read like a critic and think like one, and why this matters for your own work. For the reader who became a writer and needs to know what they're actually seeing.

The Voice — How to find yours and develop it. For the writer who sounds like everyone else (or no one).

The Narrative — Storytelling techniques that work across genres. For the writer who knows the story but can't find the shape.

The World — World-building, both in and outside genre. For the writer building something that has to stand on its own.

The Practice — Maintaining a consistent, on-demand writing practice. For the writer whose practice keeps disappearing.

Each Chain is pay what you want. Minimum $5. Suggested $25.

Pick the one that's calling to you. They're already live, and they're waiting. I want to do this with you and I hope you'll try one soon.
