A LIVE VIRTUAL WRITING WORKSHOP
WRITE A LETTER
TO YOUR EX
For the things you wanted to say, almost said, definitely should not text,
and maybe still think about in the shower.
OCTOBER 13 · 6:00 PM CT · LIVE ON ZOOM · $44
No writing experience required.
No, we are not sending it.
Okay, but what are we
actually doing?
01
SHOW UP
Join live on Zoom. Bring your laptop, notebook, favorite pen, beverage, emotional-support blanket, whatever. You don't need to prepare anything.
02
GET THE PROMPTS
Michelle guides the group past Dear [name]... and into the things you actually want to say. Some prompts will be funny. Some might sting a little. Hence the name.
03
write
There will be actual writing time. This is not an hour of slides explaining the concept of journaling. You are going to write.
04
sHARE, IF YOU WANT
Read the whole thing. Read one sentence. Share something hilarious or devastating. Or share absolutely nothing. You are allowed to simply be there.
You know
the letter.
The one you've written in your head a hundred times.
The one you started in your notes app.
The one you'll probably never send.
The one that still lives in your chest.
Yeah.
We're writing that one. You know exactly who.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO SEND IT
FOR IT TO MATTER.
Actually, please don't.
A few things this
is NOT:
Not therapy.
Not group coaching.
Not a breakup support group.
Not four hours of talking about attachment styles.
Not Michelle telling you whether you should get back together.
Not everyone crying to acoustic music while someone burns sage over Zoom.
And definitely not an excuse to text your ex afterward.
It's a writing
workshop
Come If…
You still occasionally rehearse arguments from a relationship that ended three years ago.
You have a Notes app draft that could legally qualify as a novella.
You dated someone so confusing you deserve continuing education credits.
You want an excuse to write.
You like hearing other people's stories.
You're curious what comes out when you stop trying to make the story sound nice.
You have ever thought:
"I would never send this,
BUT…"
Perfect. You're invited.
You don't even miss them anymore, but there are still things you wish you could've said.
Hi, I'm Michelle.
I'm a comedian and the creator of This Might Hurt A Little, a live comedy and storytelling show built around one simple idea: people read the letters they never sent.
Letters to exes. Parents. Friends. People they lost. Younger versions of themselves. People they love.
I've watched what happens when somebody finally puts the thing they've been carrying into words. People laugh. People recognize themselves. People say things they didn't realize they needed to say.
And after producing the show, I kept thinking:
What if we gave people the space to write the letter before they ever had to think about reading it?
That's where this workshop came from.
