JanYourStory
The words “goal” and “deadline” might not ring with any poetic allure, but these two words are at the center of our January Writing Event: JanYourStory.
JanYourStory is all about designing your life around the things you rationally want to achieve instead of sinking into the powerful claws of more impulsive needs. We tend to be myopic creatures, preferring positive outcomes in the present at the expense of future outcomes.
But our present self is doing a disservice to our future self, who will scream back into the dark hollows of the past: “Why didn’t you work on our memoir?”
JanYourStory is a way your present self can better serve your future self—who wants you to write your story.
