Why You Should Attend My Session at #Allume: “Write Yourself Free!”

Posted on October 24, 2012 by elizabeth

I’m flying to the Allume blogging conference tomorrow. I’ll be speaking on Friday morning at 10am. My session is called “Her Story: Write Yourself Free!”

I’ll be sharing the lessons I learned in developing my voice as an emotionally honest, courageously vulnerable writer. Additionally, I’ll be reading an excerpt from my upcoming book!

Here’s a brief description of my session:

Are you afraid of telling your most painful stories? Good! Let’s do THAT! Writing courageously is about leaning into our fearful places and finding those buried jewels of insight. As we tell the truth about our stories, we become more real and more free. With practical inspiration for developing emotional honesty, writing courageously will inspire you to live AND write beyond fear.

My hope is that this session inspires you to live and write your own courageous journey. I would love to see you there. Please be sure to come introduce yourself–I can’t WAIT to meet you in real life!

    I’m MUCH too introverted to attend this kind of conference (I’d probably stay in my hotel room)…so I hope you will post your talk here for those unable to get there

    Oh wow, that’s something I’d love to do…someday!

    Can’t attend . . . but I LOVE that you will be reminding people to “play hurt” (if you can handle a sports analogy!). Too often, we think we need to be *fixed* before we can contribute, write, etc. Sometimes, playing hurt is part of our healing. All the best to you as you plan and prepare!

    Ack! This is something I would have tried to make happen had I known. Ah well, here’s hoping you get a chance to post it. Best wishes for tomorrow — you’ll rock it I’m sure!

    Thank you for sharing! It was a very cool session, and helpful for a challenge that I have come to about writing about issues that involve people that I don’t want to hurt. I feel more courageous after hearing you tell your story!

    You went to Allume. I went to ARIN XXX. Very different worlds. ;-)

    I didn’t make it to your session. I think I might have needed to, given the order of the rest of Allume and what I think the next steps in my life are … any way you might have notes to share? Thought I’d be brave enough to ask. (smile)
