You'll probably love the Year if...

  • you can't get started.
  • once you get started, you stall.
  • you get overwhelmed while you're writing.
  • you yearn for a like-minded community full of story nerds.
  • no one in your life understands why you stare out the window for twenty minutes and then ask, “Did you say something?”

It may not be the right fit if...

  • your primary focus is publishing, money, or fame.
  • you're looking for someone to teach you how to market your book.
  • you're looking for someone to tell you what to write and how to write it.
  • you want to write to the market.
  • you already have a finished manuscript and you're looking for an agent, editor, or critique group.

Why the Year

Learn how you write.

The Year of Writing Magically gives you the space and time to learn how you write.

Sure, you'll be working on your novel, and a lot of writers finish their book during the Year. Some don't.

The time you spend here is spent unlearning the things that slow you down and learning to trust yourself as a writer.

The goal isn't simply to finish a book.

It's to remove the friction that stops you and learn to write the way you write.

The journey

What happens over ten months

To get the most out of your writing time and effort, you have to work on yourself.

So much of what stops us from writing is in our own heads, so that's where we begin. You won't write a word during the first month. Instead, you'll examine the beliefs you may be carrying that make it hard to write.

Then you'll discover yourself as a writer. You'll play in the world of your book. Again... not writing. Playing. Having fun. Building your energy and excitement.

Then we draft, together, as a community. So fun.

After that, we move into craft. Using the simple story theory of How Story Works, you'll let your book rest for a bit while we dive into the craft of storytelling.

Finally, we look at what comes next. Critiques and feedback. Agents and editors. Publishing, if that's the direction you want to go.

You leave with a deeper understanding of yourself as a writer and a clear sense of where your project goes next.

If this sounds like your kind of year, I'd love to write with you.
