Life is a good word

hello beautiful Hot Literatis!
Happy Monday, I controversially love Mondays and early mornings. Maybe I enjoy beginnings.
This morning, I wrote 1500 words on a draft of a second novel. I have a manuscript of a first sitting at home in Kansas that exactly one person has read. On Friday, I had lunch with one of my mentors, who encouraged me to treat writing like more of a job, sitting down at the same time every day before all of the other life stuff gets in your head, as opposed to only doing it when inspiration strikes. So that's what I'm doing, I guess. And it feels good!
Events
Here at Hot Literati, we love hanging out, and are happy to offer both in person and online events. Right now in person events are primarily in New York, but the more Literatis we get in other places, the sooner we'll be able to expand!

Courses
I've been adding courses to our course section to help provide framekworks for thinking, goal setting/achieving, and helping you feel hotter, smarter, and more excited about your own life. Here are some of my favorites
Intro to Hot Literati - understand what it means to become a Hot Literati - take the course
How to be Hotter - explore philosophy, presence, and how to show up Hotter in your own life - take the course
How to be a Creator - creating content has become a very large industry and a very valuable way to get your message and worldview out there. This course is a super comprehensive overview of becoming a creator in an effective and more importantly sustainable way - take the course
Community
We now have 82 Hot Literati members on our website, aka my favorite part of the Internet! I'd love to see more content creators, entrepreneurs, artists, and just cool people join to share their work, support one another, and remain connected for a long time to come. We're closing the membership once we hit 1,000 members to keep things cozy, so don't wait!
Little Deaths/Delights
Every Monday, we share three "deaths" we're letting go of and three "delights" we're embracing. Join to participate in this ritual in our chatroom!
In Sum,
Life Is a long swim and you just have to ride with waves and learn how to time your breath. I've been reading and walking around. Life is really good, if you know where to look.
see you inside of the Hot Literati Universe!
have a great week
xx
