Specifically made to delight me.

I teach writers how to understand their own creativity.

Knowing yourself as a writer is the skeleton key to unlocking your creativity.

Hi. I’m Lani.

Writers struggle. It’s part of the process of going from caterpillar to butterfly. I get it. But we don’t need to struggle quite this much, so I’ve built a system to help us shift our energy from struggling to writing.

Here’s the secret up front: Your path to creativity can’t be found in harsher discipline, self-denying willpower, or doing what some other writer does.

The secret to writing more, with it taking less out of you… is you.

When you understand how your creativity works, everything changes. Writing becomes more sustainable, more joyful, and a lot easier on you.

Whether you’re here for the essays or the Year of Writing Magically, I’m really glad you found me. This is going to be a lot of fun.

The essays

I write regular essays about writing and being a writer. I shoot for weekly, except when I’m drafting during the summers. Then… it’s catch as catch can.

You get it.
