ostensibly the best episode of Baywatch

By ashleygainer | April 4, 2024

I was chatting on the phone with Will this morning. He was entirely too awake and I was entirely too… not. By the time we connected on the phone, he had already been up a little while with a daily dose of ADHD meds well in his system. The awake-ness of this dude… let’s just […]

do you fantasize about this, too?

By ashleygainer | April 3, 2024

I was chatting with a friend yesterday… You might know this gal, but she will remain nameless in this story because, well, if it were me, I wouldn’t want to be named either. She, like me, has been through some really hard stuff. And she, like me, has a family that’s been through some hard […]

yesterday’s best prank

By ashleygainer | April 2, 2024

My kids were out of school yesterday, so I wasn’t as present and available online as I normally would be on a Monday. I did, however, spot a couple of decent April Fools Day gags. My favorite, by far, was from Last Crumb. If you haven’t checked out Last Crumb yet, I highly recommend it. […]

sooooooo I almost died at church yesterday

By ashleygainer | April 1, 2024

(turns out I’m the April fool) Today’s April Fool’s Day and I’m pretty sure I’m the fool. Yesterday was Easter Sunday, arguably the biggest day of the year for most churches. (It was certainly crowded by our standards.) And because it was Easter, I decided to forego my usual Birkenstock sandals for some black dressy […]

slow day

By ashleygainer | March 29, 2024

Bit of a late start today — I’ve decided to more or less take today off. It’s been a good day for noticing things. It rained a lot this week, and the river was high and fast. Looked kinda like chocolate milk, what with all the silt and red clay being stirred up. There was […]

proof

By ashleygainer | March 28, 2024

Had an interesting conversation with my friend Mae yesterday. Mae has a merch shop. She makes branded shirts and stickers and all kinds of things for other businesses. (When I finally start offering swag, she’ll be my printer.) She and her daughter also have an off-shoot sticker shop, and that shop has a pretty substantial […]

Thank you, Ashley! By following your advice I just got my first paying gig.

Without a website or any social media presence! I used the clips I created in Clips Camp and I just decided to go for it. I would not have taken these steps to launch my freelance business without your guidance. You are so real and honest about your journey; you made freelance writing seem possible. And now it is possible for me. I have never felt more confident in myself and my abilities!

Your classes, Facebook group, Instagram, and just general approachability have really driven me to want to succeed at this.

It feels like someone is in my corner all the time. Thanks for your mentoring- keep up the great work!!

I finally found a freelance writer/course creator I could personally relate to

I've been looking into freelance writing for over a year now. There's a lot of information out there and a lot of people who claim to be able to teach the "best" way to go about being a writer…. I prefer your down-to-earth style of teaching.
