Do you sometimes feel trapped by your thoughts?

“You’ll never be good enough”.

“What am I doing with my life?”

“Why isn’t anyone listening?”

Sound familiar?

I created 100 Naked Words as an outlet for you. I wholeheartedly believe that embracing your vulnerability is what strengthens you. Acknowledging our defects makes us human. Falling in love with our imperfections makes us powerful.

To take the first step, we have to write. It’s a therapeutic process called catharsis. J.R.R Tolkien did it to recover from the ravages of WWI.

No matter if you’re an entrepreneur trying to start a new venture, a person entering the work force for the first time, a writer looking to train their idea muscle or someone with a voice that needs to be heard, you’re welcome.

My only requirement is that you write each and every day. I deliberately made it 100 words so that no one has an excuse not to do it. It’s 10 minutes of writing, tops.

The idea isn’t to get it perfect. Perfectionists never get anything done.

The motto I’ve always lived by is:

Don’t get it right, just get it going.

Get your work out there. You won’t be slain, trust me. It becomes easier each time. Best of all, you’ve got me at your back.

If you’re keen, send me an email. Tell me about the work that gives your life meaning. I’ll see if you’re a good fit. If you are, I’ll add you as a writer.
