Doing a new thing!

Spoiler alert: it's with the words

Welcome to Whybird Writes by me, Annie Woodcock 🙂

I’m SO HAPPY you’re here.

I decided to set up this Substack as my own little corner of the internet in which to experiment with writing 💡

No rules.

No agenda.

Just exploration!

I’m doing this because I’ve always wanted to be a writer. In private, I have been nurturing a budding writing hobby over the last few months which has included some poetry, a few short stories and a good chunk of miscellaneous non-fiction. I’m excited (if a bit nervous!) to start to share some of this with any of you lovely people willing to read it. I’m sure there will be hits and misses, but what the hell - let’s give it a go! I hope that at least some of it will resonate, interest or amuse - your constructive feedback is very welcome.

Maybe there will eventually be some kind of relationship between Whybird Writes (the ideas) and Whybird Coaching (the service), but who knows. I don’t have a set goal here - I’m following my nose and working it all out as I go! Ultimately, this is just another creative experiment within my innately experimental career set up - hopefully a fun and fruitful one 🙃

With this newsletter Whybird Writes, you can expect to read mostly stuff related to these three buckets:

• Philosophy, psychology & the human condition❔

• Education, learning & the future of work 👩🏼‍🏫

• Pop culture, feminism & social justice 💥

If any of these topics pique your interest (or even if you’re just feeling nosy), subscribe to join me for a lil peek into my bouncy brain.

Welcome and thank you in advance for reading!
