A short, real conversation about the thing you’re working on: the course you keep almost starting, the program you’re not sure anyone would pay for, the plan that’s been in a document since last spring.
Bring it as it is. Half-formed is the normal state of a good idea.
Five questions to daydream through before we talk. Print it, fill it in badly, bring it. Fifteen minutes goes a lot further when you’ve already pictured the thing out loud.
I have taken the booking calendar down for a while. My days are full and I would rather answer you properly than fit you into a slot I cannot give my attention to.
So: write to me instead. Tell me what you are working on and where it has stalled. I read everything myself and I answer on Thursdays.
Still not a sales call. If the Daydream page is filled in, say so and send it along. It is a good letter either way.
Write to me →In the meantime, most of what I would say in fifteen minutes I have written down somewhere. The essays are the honest version, and they are free.
