A program for writers who are ready to break through their writer’s block.

(without banging any heads against the wall)

That’s the premise of Embrace Your Writer’s Block, my practical 10-step workbook that helps writers break through their creative barriers and rekindle their passion for writing.

This isn’t just another random collection of writing prompts. It’s a carefully crafted program that will transform how you view and work through your creative blocks.

While this program is designed for writers to complete on their own, I know all too well how lonely and daunting that can feel. We often need company in our writing journey to help us stay on course and finish strong.

That’s why I’m hosting this 4-week experience for writers who are looking to refuel their writing and rediscover the joy of writing.

Does that describe you?

“But will this program work?”

My answer will obviously be “Yes.” But don’t take my word for it. Listen to the other writers who’ve gone through this program.

Take Danielle, for example:

Working through this workbook is a bit like talking to a trusted friend or counselor: it gives you just the right encouragement, asks you great questions, listens patiently as you get all the words out, and challenges you with exactly what you need to hear.

The format is deceptively simple at first glance, because there’s not extra fluff. Each day includes a brief explanation/encouragement followed by a writing prompt. I found the prompts extremely helpful; each exercise uncovered something that surprised me about myself or my project.

I know I’ll be returning to this book often in my writing life. Highly recommended!

Or Sam:

This book was instrumental in getting the roots of my writer’s block and unblocking it! No greater review possible than that!

Or Heather:

At first, I wasn’t sure that I needed this book. Typically, I’ve viewed writer’s block as a malady involving a literal inability to put words on paper. That wasn’t my trouble. I had the ability to put words on paper. I also had a tendency to dance around the actual thing I wanted to write.

As a memoirist, I’m often blocked by the fear of telling stories that aren’t mine to tell. As a result, I tend to avoid the very subject I’m writing about. That doesn’t always make for clear, accessible prose for the reader. Ewert’s workbook helped me to acknowledge that block, as I responded to a series of thought-provoking prompts, in a clear-eyed but phasic process.

This is not a “kill your darlings” approach. This handbook invites the writer to enjoy a cup of coffee with her darlings and talk to them for a while. To add one more metaphor to the mix: Ewert won’t push you over the edge of a cliff, but he also won’t pull you back and tell you not to look. Instead, Ewert’s prompts provide a safe place for the writer to consider questions that need to be answered in order for the writer to move forward. In the end, this handbook trusts the writer to answer those questions for herself.

Are you looking for this kind of a breakthrough?

“What will this experience look like?”

Time is short. I don’t want to waste yours. That’s why I’ve designed this experience to be as barebones as possible. The goal is to get you writing, not to distract you with bells and whistles.

The cost for this program is $48. That gets you:

• A digital PDF of the workbook
• Three emails a week, starting September 8th. Each email will contain:
  • A short video reflection to augment the assigned “lesson”
  • Some guiding comments and questions to supplement the assigned writing prompt
• Optional weekly “office hours” Zoom calls for those who want to connect with other writers, share their experiences, and receive live coaching

Your job will be to:

• Read the assigned “lesson” in the workbook
• Write a response to the assigned writing prompt

Here’s the thing: the value you get out of this program will be directly correlated to how committed you are to completing the writing assignments. Especially the ones you DON’T want to do.

If you trust the process and do all of the exercises, you’ll learn a lot about yourself as a writer and develop the resilient confidence you’ve always wished you had as a writer.

If you decide to take shortcuts and skip exercises, you’ll be robbing yourself of those opportunities. So don’t sign up unless you’re committed to making the most of this opportunity.

Are you ready to discover the roots of your writer’s block and sit with the uncomfortable questions you need to answer to get that writing project across the finish line?

“Hey, you didn’t answer my question!”

That’s cool! Fill out the form below and let me know what it is. I’d love to help you figure out if this program is right for you and your writing journey.
