Two writing projects I recently discovered that will substantially help you write and eventually write better.

#1 ilys — ilys.com

Punchline: Love writing again. Have fun and feel great!

Purpose:

• Kill writer’s block.
• Train your creative mind.
• Enter writing flow.

Business model: Free Trial (3,000 words) + Subscription ($10.08 per month)

#2 Freewrite — freewrite.org

Punchline: Know Yourself.

Purpose:

• Therapeutic writing (writing as a therapy).
• Creative exercise and writing exercise.
• Free writing while “free” refers to writing without judgment (inner censorship) — in the style julia Cameron’s morning pages.

Business model: Free Trial (10 days) + Subscription ($4 per month, or $40 per year if paid anually)

Would you like to participate and improve your day and week structure? Write me here or send me an email to info@naii.de.
