✨ Before You Begin
An invitation and a workbook...
Happy New Year, Friends!
I hope you’re fizzing with fresh energy and let’s-go vibes, but if you’re not I’m happy to tell you that Before You Begin is back, and it’s a really lovely way for even the most burnt-out stuck writer to start the year.
I’ve been offering Before You Begin for several years, and I’m still not quite sure how to describe it. One student called it “almost spiritual,” so I think it’s safe to say it’s more than a workbook.
I like to think Before You Begin is like a sparkling permission slip from the universe.
You might think of it as DIY coaching or a writing retreat you can do at home. Hopefully it will be a bit like you’re having a conversation with your writing bestie. I’m cheering you on and holding space for you, the same way a yoga teacher invites her students to stretch, explore, and grow.
This is for you if you…
Long to write a book but don’t know where to start
Started writing a manuscript and got stuck
Feel burnt out, filled with self doubt, or struggling with imposter syndrome
Yearn to enjoy the writing process and want to feel more creative
Need to quiet your inner editor (or are an editor who wants to be a writer!)
I’ll help you…
Get excited to sit down and write
Feel clear and confident about your next project
Understand your creative strengths and weaknesses more deeply
Develop touchstones you can turn to throughout the writing process
Create something you’re proud of
You are an ARTIST, creating something out of nothing, making meaning, celebrating what it means to be human. So why not develop a writing process that feels deeply, luxuriously, beautifully human? It’s time to let yourself explore, play, and break the rules. It’s time to bring a spirit of kindness, curiosity, and a touch of book magic to the writing process.
It’s time to fall in love with writing.
PS
The bundle includes an hour of creative coaching at 50% OFF. It’s a really great way to ask me anything about the creative process, get feedback on your ideas, and figure out your next steps with a pro. (Only available until 1/31/25.)
Nebula Notebook is a place to meet kindred spirits, get inspired, and learn how to find ease and joy in the creative process—even when life is bananas. 🍌🍌🍌
✏️ PS—The fastest way to grow as a writer is to book a manuscript critique or a creative coaching session with an expert. My clients get agents, sell books, and win awards. They also learn how to enjoy the creative process, so they can keep going when life gets hard. 👏
