About
Writing is the way.
We believe in the power of writing.
Our journal is where we face our demons and realize our dreams. It’s not easy, trivial work.
Writing is sacred and profound: it’s how we access the divine.
That’s why our ego loves when we don’t write. Because as soon as you start to write, your ego starts to die… So it’ll cling to you and do anything possible to stop you from writing so you don’t access, create, or become something bigger than it.
The Writing Way exists to help you master the mental game of writing so you go beyond the ego and write big.
There is no limit to the healing, connection, and power that comes from writing.
Because writing empowers the highest, truest expression and evolution for us all.
Our Values
Transparency
We strive to be real, open, and honest as people and as a business. Even and especially, when it’s hard. We will lead with truth because we believe that’s the best way to do business/life. It’s an honour to do this work with you and trust is essential.
Accessibility
We want to make guided journaling as widely available for people everywhere. We will offer free classes and writing resources, scholarships, and sliding scales to meet you where you’re at and level the playing field.
Growth
We want to continually get better. And, we know we will make mistakes and mess up. This wanting and knowledge allows us to own when we’re wrong, experiment and iterate, take responsibility, and learn & unlearn to grow and evolve.
And we’re always open to hearing from you with our anonymous Suggestion Box.
1% of all sales will go to Together Rising.
Hi! I’m Deanne Vincent, Founder of The Writing Way.
*warmly smiles and shakes your hand*
I kept so much inside growing up.
I buried how I felt, what I feared, and all I dreamed about in my body.
I suppressed my truth and listened to what was outside of me: I tried to become who they thought I should be… and became unhappy and felt trapped as a result.
When I was given a beautiful journal and pen for my birthday in 2017, I had no idea how it would change my life.
It was between a pen and paper that I found the safety to be honest and start to express what was in me. It hurt, and it healed.
Because when you write, you can’t avoid the truth. And the more you write, the more you end up living your truth.
It was my writing that got me through the next two years that included two relationship endings and three surgeries to know who I really am, find my way, and finally do the things I always wanted to do.
I founded The Writing Way with the simple mission to get more people writing.
Why?
Because writing itself is healing.
Because we need more truth and depth in this world.
Because we don’t want you to die with your words still inside of you.
I chose “The Writing Way” not “The Writer’s Way” because writing is an action — a verb if you will. It’s the essential piece.
I learned firsthand how writing can change your life so with The Writing Way I want to help others harness this powerful tool.
Because this world needs your words.
But, we know not everyone will write.
Too many people will go to the grave with their words still inside of them.
And that breaks our hearts.
We don’t want that to to be you if we can help it.
