What would you love to do, make, or create?
A talk, a book, a business, a post or email?
Annnnnd when’s the last time you sat down to do it?
Exactly. Isn’t that nuts?
It’s easy to avoid stuff you hate.
… But why is it that you can’t seem to ever get to the stuff you
actually love and want to do?
I’ll tell you why: Because we get this picture in our minds of what it “could” be, and the idea of sitting down to it means facing reality, our own limitations, the fear that we can’t live up to the idea.
So what do we do?
Tell ourselves we need...
...More time
...More talent
...More resources
...or, my favorite, to "get this other stuff done first." Right.
If you wait for these things, you’ll never get to what you want to do.
FACT: Ideas are a dime a dozen.
Nothing counts 'til you write it down.
Your work can only be appreciated, used,
and offered when it’s out of your head.
What if you could...
Freely and safely explore your voice and creativity
Get unstuck around an existing project
Share your stories and ideas—and get real-time feedback?
Break ground on a brand new project
Gain momentum and flow on the page again
And what if you had a place to do it every week?
None of us has oodles of time.
What if you a limited and constrained period of time was precisely what you need to get and keep going?
I’m Terri Trespicio.
I’m certified in the Gateless method and have been leading workshops on this approach to generating and revising creative work. We use writing within a specific framework which makes it easier and safer to access and express creative work.
How? By turning down the critic, and tuning out competition, and using focused prompts and tools for getting as much as possible out of the time we have.
I think you’d love it.
Why not give it a shot

What makes it a 'studio'?
The studio is where artists gather; it's also where the work gets done. Whether it's an art studio, a dance studio, a television studio—it's where we bring our best ideas, and our most collaborative spirit.
That's what you can expect when you walk into this "studio": Open minds, burgeoning ideas, zero criticism, and a deep appreciation for the work you're doing—whatever that work is.
