Learn to love writing magically
Craft is the stuff you can put your back against; the principles of storytelling like conflict, structure and character. If that's your problem, I recommend getting your free digital copy of How Story Works.
Magic is more ethereal. It's put simply... you. It's all the unquantifiable wonder that you as an individual bring to your writing. It's the flavor in the dish. But in order to unlock it to its fullest potential, you need to know how to lean into your strengths and stop focusing on your weaknesses.
A task that is easier said than done.
That's why I've built two yearly workshops, both beginning with deep mindset work to prepare you to write to the best of your ability, and here's the real magic: Both workshops are based in small, tight communities of writers who are going through the same process, at your side.
The Year of Writing Magically is a workshop where I am also a participant, writing my newest novel alongside you writing yours. Every other Saturday, the group meets live on Zoom for two hours for instruction, chat, and group exercises. (March-December)
