Hey First name / friend,

 

A writer friend recently told me, referring to the book she’s been wanting to write for years now, “I hate writing but love having written.”

 

I soooo relate. And it’s especially frustrating because it just doesn’t make sense.

 

 

Often, that prompts a vicious cycle of questions:

Beneath those doubts is the belief that, if the project is right and we’re even half the writer we aspire to be, the writing will be easy. Or at least it won’t be anywhere near this hard. 

 

As a result, we suspect that if writing feels hard—especially if we care intensely about the project—it means we’re doing something wrong. Or maybe that we ARE wrong. 

 

 

 

That’s why you can probably write pretty easily when it comes to certain things, but when you open up the document that holds THE PROJECT, it suddenly feels completely different.

 

And by different, I mean awful. 

 

And then extra awful because SHOULDN’T IT FEEL AMAZING???

 

I used to think passion = motivation. And so I was stuck in the “this should be easy” shame trap for years. Freedom only came when I realized that, counterintuitively, the projects we’re most passionate about are often the ones that are hardest to write. 

 

This realization, plus several others, has revolutionized my relationship with my novel, unlocking the door to creative play and a joyful writing routine. Now, I’m making meaningful progress on my passion project—and having fun doing it!

 

 

How would it feel to actually finish it—without having to beat yourself up or literally tie yourself to your desk?

 

Now think about this:

 

 

I know it’s possible because I’ve done it. And let me tell you, it feels SO good. 

 

 

 

We’ll unpack the 5 critical ways we make it harder for ourselves to write the things we care about most, and you’ll learn my 4-part framework to make writing fun again. 

 

I’ll share exactly what I’ve done to get unstuck on my passion project and give you a 30-day writing plan that’s detailed yet totally manageable (even if you have a full-time job and/or multiple kids!). 

 

Then, I’ll open it up for questions so I can provide customized advice and coaching on your individual situation and unique struggle. 

 

Plus, if you register before midnight on Friday, I’ll send you a bonus coaching prompt straight to your inbox so you can start getting unblocked right away. This prompt is only available for early-bird registrants and will prepare the soil, so to speak, so that the workshop content will take root more quickly and deeply. 

 

 

I’m not saying it will always be easy or that you’ll never again encounter resistance. But I am saying that, after this workshop, you’ll have the tools you need to peacefully work through that resistance whenever it does pay you a visit, viewing it as a familiar if unpleasant friend rather than a threat to your identity and self-worth. 

 

 

Don’t spend another day feeling like a failure because you’re still not working on that book (speaking from my own experience there!). Register for Wake Up Wanting to Write and learn how to turn your passion into progress—without the blood, sweat, and tears you've started to think is required. 

 

(Ok, maybe a little sweat still—great writing always takes work—but we'll call it perspiration.)

 

Can’t wait to see you there!

P.S. Don’t forget that by registering before Friday, November 29th, you’ll get a bonus coaching prompt to help you make progress right away. Register today!
