The Weekend Writing Marathon: A self-paced writing retreat you do in your pajamas
I made a thing and I'm excited about it.
I made a course called The Weekend Writing Marathon. It's a structured weekend immersion that walks you through a full Friday-to-Sunday arc of sustained writing. It’s self-paced and starts at $29. This is my first Thinkific course, so these are first-run prices. They're going up after this cohort
Here’s what it takes you through
Friday evening you set your intentions and seed your projects.
Saturday is a full-day guided marathon with techniques every hour or two, like phrase-turning, switching between handwriting and typing and voice, writing from direct observation, and breaking form mid-sentence just to see what happens.
Sunday you learn how to harvest everything you wrote and actually shape it into something.
There are short videos before each phase, and then you go. The structure holds you so you don’t have to figure out what to do next. You have everything you need to just write.
It’s all about going deep, finding the trick that unsticks you, and going deeper.
You set up your space, you write for a very long time, and by Sunday afternoon you’re sitting in a pile of raw material that didn’t exist before, with the tools to actually do something with it.
Why this, why now?
Like it or not, written “output” is cheaper than ever before. Anyone can generate ten thousand words before lunch. But the words were never the most valuable part anyway.
What’s valuable is what happens to you while you’re writing, when you push past the surface stuff and start having so much fun your inner editor can’t help but pull up a chair and start cheerleading you. A writing process you own is not something you can outsource or automate. The magic only happens by doing it.
This course is for people who want more of that. It’s the egg I’ve been wanting to hatch for a while now.
Two ways to do it
Do it with me. The first cohort weekend is April 24–26. Everyone who signs up does the marathon that weekend. You also get a one-on-one debrief call with me afterward to bring whatever's on your mind, whether that's what to develop or what your practice looks like from here.

I’m excited about having people run through the weekend course and I want to know what you think. Your experience with this one shapes what I build next, so grab it, do it, and tell me what happened.
See you on the other side of a weekend.
