Good luck with your daily pitching Holly! Cold pitching is scary for me but I have got better lately at reaching out to people I know or have worked with before, and it pays off!

You have reminded me to chase up a creative writing workshop I pitched recently to a domestic abuse charity. I was thinking about what held me back from chasing and it's fear (always fear!) but I'm now going to suck that up and pitch it to others and maybe even apply for funding for it! So thanks for the nudge/inspiration as always.

Thanks for the encouragement Rachael

and I’m glad the prompt was a helpful nudge for you. ✨

I’m hoping the challenge will act like exposure therapy and I’ll not find it so challenging to cold pitch. 💪 I also need to start tapping up people I’ve worked with before!

Good luck with your workshop pitch and the follow up, that’s another bit I need to focus on.

Love your idea of a 100 day challenge - such a good idea - good luck!

Thanks for the encouragement Beth! I can’t take credit for the idea, I know I’ve heard several people mention it before, but I can’t remember who first came up with it.
