Gratitude from our clients is music to our ears!

From a writing workshop participant…

In a recent stress reduction seminar, I learned different techniques that not only helped me reduce stress, but to focus. I still use those techniques and look forward to another seminar with Marisa.

From a real estate agent needing updated press coverage…

I contacted Marisa when I changed companies and they asked for a bio. I’m never at a loss for words, but this time I had no ideas. I turned to Marisa, who I knew would be up to the task. The bio, the newspaper announcement in the press release, and website bio were perfect. She captured who I am and the passion for what I do. I highly recommend using her and I will be using her in the future.

From a professional chef needing help marketing her catering business…

I have been wanting to create a a menu directory/brochure that could be used to showcase and market my catering and chef business. I knew what I wanted, but didn’t know how to pull it together. Then I met Marissa she helped me decide format, the details of the menu descriptions and was able to work within my budget. It is clean, classy, and well written. She captured just what I wanted. Marisa is such a gifted and eloquent writer!! Thank you for helping in my steps to take my business to the next level!

From a small business owner desiring business writing services…

Marisa is truly phenomenal with her words, what I consider a true beautiful artist. Without question she has helped me with business letters/documents I needed and was done in no time. I highly recommend Marisa and We Write It Right. I’m truly grateful she came into my life!

From a client needing a timed elevator pitch…

I recently had an assignment for an entrepreneur course to write a 30-second elevator pitch for my nascent business. Anyone who knows me would recognize the challenge this posed. Try as I might, I was unable to create a presentation succinct enough to encompass what I wanted to say. Short and to the point is not my skill. I contacted Marisa Moks-Unger for her assistance. In a very short time, she grasped my most critical points, culled just the right words to say and had it timed to meet my requirements. I highly endorse Marisa’s skills as a wordsmith to bring a concept to Life! Her wording made clear my mission.

Scrabble Words for Flow

Create a Word Bank from Scrabble

Word Lists from Scrabble — First play the game, then get writing from your curated word list.

Sunday afternoons find my husband, mother-in-law, and I playing Scrabble. This ritual helps us to pass the time during the pandemic. The games usually run one to two hours. We have taken these games to a new level by anticipating them each week, then carefully crafting our word choices. It helps that all three of us are avid readers and come up with a variety of interesting diction.

Also, the game gets my mother-in-law’s mind off of the local paper’s with its teeming death notices of Covid-19 victims – most from local residential living facilities. And, she is now interested in the fact that I am using these word lists to write from professionally.

Next, free write for a few. Make a list of the words developed during the game. Then use the list as a springboard to write a creative piece using as many of the words as possible. Play with long and short lines. Add some rhymes. Look for alliteration. Give yourself about 10 minutes. See what images appear.

Then, select a genre or two to carry through. As a theme arises from the free write of the word list, follow the lead. Perhaps a poem rises up. Or, a one-act play. Or, both! Choose one genre knowing that you can come back and create more works from any single topic.

Now, it’s your turn! If you have a Scrabble game somewhere hidden in a hall closet, it is time to get it out and try your hand at this writing tactic. It employs procrastination by allowing you to blow off writing at first by playing a game. Then, you are rewarded for the time you invested in the game by writing a piece from the words you and others generated.

Here’s to growing your flow,

TGIFF – Thank God It’s Friday Flow

How Gratitude Leads the Way

Use grateful eyes to take in the world around you. Then, instead of planning to hit the bars and clubs when the clock strikes 5:00 PM, other options present themselves during these times of pandemic. Why not take a virtual tour a museum? Or, take a walk or bike ride through a park? Or, spend an hour working on a poem, and essay, or a blog post. When you are grateful for the options you have – even if you are working from home amid shutdowns – then that is enough.

Your Turn

Playtime creates greater flow. — Spirographs, Etch-a-Sketch, and Slinkys are just a few ways to re-enter flow through playtime. What was your favorite activity as a child? When was the last time you tried it as an adult?

Think back to grade school, junior high, or middle school. Think about the electives that you took that helped round out your schedule. Did you take dance or music classes? Weight training? Or, perhaps, like me, you did candle making. Whatever it might be, try to reunite your lost teen with your adult self. Take time to write, dance, sing, paint, or play with your Spirograph! You’ll be glad you did!

Here’s to growing your flow,
