ABOUT THIS CLASS
The process of collecting research for a weekly dispatch, a monthly newsletter, or any writing project that needs organizing of notes and thoughts, using:

🌼 Notion, notebooks, Google Drive, sticky notes, note cards, tape, paper, markers 🌼

You do not have to be familiar with notion before this class, although if you want a very basic tutorial, look here.





THE PROCESS
This workshop is created to make you feel more confident in your research so that you may feel more confident in your writing.

We will gather and go through a series of list making activities and writing prompts.

A lot of this class is a lecture style where I will present my own methods for organizing research as well as open it up to the group to respond with their own methods.

We will have an opportunity to share with each other, be together, and find ways to integrate our values with our writing and our output.

There will be a 5 min break in the middle of class and you are welcome to take breaks at any time.
 




THIS CLASS IS FOR YOU IF 🌼 For years you have thought: I want to write a newsletter, create a podcast, make a book, teach, craft an amazing syllabus - but you have no idea where to start

🌼 You signed up for Mailchimp or Substack but hitting send is absolutely terrifying so you never do

🌼 You're pretty sure you have nothing to say or everything you have to say is stupid

🌼 You already have a newsletter or book idea but you wan't to become a better and clearer writer

🌼 You want to streamline the process of gathering ideas and and generating creative output

Accountability is a way to expand our devotion and commitments: consider sharing the link to class with a friend to join you.







Since 2013 I have been using the World Wide Web to share my ideas, art, and writing in newsletter format to thousands of readers. In 2017 I began doing this weekly and found that it transformed my writing, my connection to people, and my relationship to the world around me. I have created many different containers for my work that all integrate with my paths of research and exploration.

I have had podcasts, radio shows, advice columns, and more - a variety of containers to share my notes on listening, paying attention, and practice with the world I find more CONSISTENCY, DISCIPLINE, DEVOTION, AND SATISFACTION when my art practice is deeply rooted in research and experimentation.

YOU CAN READ MY NEWSLETTER HERE IF YOU WANT TO GET THE FEEL!  









QUESTIONS

Q: I'm not an artist and I don't have a business, can I take this class?

A: Yes you can! Also if those are things you are trying to cultivate : this class is definitely for you!

Q: Will you show me how to build an email list very fast with automated lead magnets and welcome sequences?

A: No! But there are really cool classes for that other places. I will absolutely support you in finding ways to market and share your work in week three and come up with creative ways for people to join your email list, become readers, or listeners - but this is not a fast track newsletter / email list marketing class


Q: Is this class fun or really serious?

A: This class is fun I have never opened a zoom room in my life and not had fun. AND unblocking whatever has been keeping you from starting a newsletter or devoting more time to your writing / art practice and research is serious business! We are going to add ease and fun to this serious business


Q: Will I get rich after taking this class?

A: You might! That depends on your own relationship with earning, spending, and commitment to your work. Oh and also the many privileges you may or may not hold.

Again, this class is about deepening your relationship with synthesizing your notes, research, and interests into a container for public sharing. I find that when I am in this deep state of focus and reach people who are interested in my work - I do earn more money. And sometimes I do not and it is a total flop. 


You do not need to have a business, an art practice, or even any idea what you want to write and talk about in order to take this class. And you DEFINITELY do not need to identify as a writer or artist or have a desire to write a lengthy newsletter. This will support you in having more clarity in how you talk about your work and bring it into a new light.

 Q: BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE A BLOG/ PODCAST/INSTAGRAM CAPTION, CAN I STILL TAKE THIS CLASS? YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT NEWSLETTERS

A: YES YES YES!

Here is the deal: This class is about how we take what we see, feel, think, and experience in the world and translating it into material for humans to publicly interact with.

You absolutely do not need to turn it into a newsletter. ALTHOUGH a newsletter / email list (no one can take away your email list!) will certainly help you reach more people to talk about your podcast or other project!

WHO IS TEACHING THIS CLASS?



Consider this before you sign up - when signing up you are consenting to taking a class with a tornado person - This class is taught by Cody Cook-Parrott, an artist and writer, who has been self employed and teaching online classes since 2017.

Cody is not a therapist, mental health professional, trauma informed facilitator, or anything else that would give them credentials for talking about the brain and how it figures out how to plan a day.

They are a hermit and a social person and many things and skilled at planning as a Gemini, Human Design Manifestor, Queer person, freak, and artist. They love to create fun and joyful containers for figuring out how to live in the world as an expert of nothing, a devotee to the mystery.

Many of the lessons in this class are borrowed by and inspired by healing with ADHD, 12 step rooms, spiritual practice, The Artist’s Way, and more

See terms and services for all online class here.

ENERGIES OF THE
ZOOM ROOM



Whether you are neurodivergent, ADHD, have a mood disorder, chronic pain, the list goes on - how much access we have to our relationship with overwhelm, distraction, and shutting down is dependent on many factors. It is important to remember I am facilitating as an artist, not as a therapist or someone trained within modalities of mental health.

What this means is you'll have to take what you like and leave the rest! Not everything will work for every person, this container will, however, empower you to have the information to mold and fit to your specific needs and desires.

It will also help you determine the difference between when you are just beating yourself up for not "doing something you said you would do - and shifting into a space of awe and devotion.

This part might activate you - that's good: may the pushing back guide you closer to yourself. See you there!





A final note on the energy of the Zoom room:

This could be a small group, it could be a huge group, your ex might be there or your old neighbor. The mystery of digital spaces will invite us into our beautiful boundaries. Honor your physical and emotional needs and shift them throughout sessions : camera on / camera off. Participate in the chat exercises or don't. Face your camera to show us a plant the whole time. This is your experience!

Many Blessings - Cody
