Write It All Down: How to Put Your Life on the Page

SGD 14.00

Familiar with the fear that our story is not worthy of the page, that no one will care, that in writing our truth we will be exposed as frauds or fools? And so we remain silent, and in our silence, we remain strangers to ourselves?

Cathy Rentzenbrink understands this archaeology of avoidance. In Write It All Down, she illuminates what every writer eventually discovers: that the obstacles to writing are rarely about craft. They are about courage. They are about the small, relentless voice that says your life is not extraordinary enough, your suffering not profound enough, your observations not original enough. They are about the belief that storytelling is a luxury reserved for the professionally talented, when in fact it is an essential act of meaning-making available to anyone brave enough to claim it.

Rentzenbrink, alongside the wisdom of writers like Dolly Alderton and Adam Kay, offers something far more valuable than technique. She offers permission. She offers the reminder that wrestling your story onto a page is not vanity but archaeology, not self-indulgence but the only way we transform the raw events of our existence into meaning.

    A Note on Timing This is a one-woman operation. During particularly busy periods or when I'm unwell, processing may take longer. I'll update the homepage if significant delays are expected.

  • Returns are handled on a case-by-case basis.

    If something arrives damaged, defective, or significantly different from what was described, contact me within 7 days of delivery with photos. I'll make it right.

    For other situations (changed your mind, ordered the wrong size, or it simply isn't what you hoped) email me. I'll do my best to find a reasonable solution, though I can't guarantee returns in every case.

    This approach allows me to be fair and flexible while sustaining a very small operation.

  • About This Shop

    This shop exists in a transitional moment. The items here are inventory from a previous business. One built with different priorities, questions, and a different sense of what mattered. Over time, that business stopped reflecting how I think and what I want to say. So I let it go.

    What remains are these products: well-made, functional, some I still believe in completely, others that represent a version of my taste I've since outgrown. They're here because I'd rather see them used than stored, and because closing one chapter means clearing space for the next.

    This explains the pricing. These aren't luxury goods positioned at luxury prices. They're priced to move, well below their original retail value, because my goal is completion, not profit.

    What This Shop Isn't

    This isn't a carefully branded lifestyle destination. There's no aesthetic through-line being sold, no vision of the good life you can purchase in installments.

    It's not a manifesto in retail form.

    It's not permanent. When this inventory is gone, this shop may close, transform, or become something else entirely.

    On Selling Things

    To offer something for sale is to enter a complicated exchange. You're saying: this object is worth your money, your space, your attention. That claim should be made carefully.

    I'm making it less carefully here than I would if starting fresh, because these items already exist. They were already manufactured, shipped, stored. The environmental and economic cost has been paid. The question now is whether they can be useful rather than wasteful.

    Some of these things I'd buy again. Others taught me what I don't need. Both kinds are here.
