Introduction
BIG WRITER ENERGY encourages you to ‘embrace the fact that it will be an adventure, filled with risks and uncertainty, but also rewards and lessons that could potentially change your life in ways you have never imagined.
It’s not an easy journey to go on…the only reason I keep lacing up my boots is because I know I will never regret trying.’ ~ Cait Flanders
If you’ve purchased this course, then I’m going to assume you’re not a published author… yet.
But I will assume that you’re ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen!
Big Writer Energy is designed to provide you with the strategies and tools you need to see your writing journey through and actualise your personal writing success.
The common writer’s dream might seem simple enough: to have the ability to choose what you write and when you write it, and to write something that others will read and enjoy.
While it may currently feel out of reach, but I promise that you can become the writer you want to be.
This course is inspired by the countless conversations I’ve had with emerging writers who share the same challenges and disempowering beliefs that show up over and over again, negatively impacting their creative practice.
Are you…
tired of staring at a folder full of unfinished manuscripts
tired of reworking the same chapters of a manuscript you’ve been working on for years
tired of feeling as though you’ll never become the writer you want to be
Perhaps you are frustrated with your writing progress, or laden with creative doubt, burnout, or writer’s block.
Or maybe… you don’t know how to get started.
This course can serve as a road map to you becoming the writer you long to be.
The principles in this course can be applied at any stage of your writing journey, regardless of your desired outcome.
The intention of Big Writer Energy (BWE) is to offer an alternative to false optimism, the oversimplified story that sets you up to fail.
I hope to acknowledge the barriers that stand in the way of our writing goals and establish a practical and tangible plan to work together to dismantle those barriers, step by step.
Being a writer is both something that you do, and a part of who you are, and contributes to the way you live your life. But remember, being a writer is only a part of your whole.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to the writer’s journey. We are all unique and our lives are so very different, and the pressure to have it appear a particular way (or follow a particular trajectory) is limiting to our creative dreams.
BWE is the call for you recognise the abundance of writerly power you have inside you already.
There will be some reality checks along the way (because the process of writing and publishing a book has been overly romanticised), but ultimately, I want you to be able to navigate your individual writing journey with self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-worth, and a willingness to remain open to doing the work required to grow and succeed.
By choosing to invest in your writing with this course, you are one step closer to believing ‘I deserve to be here’.
This kind of self-belief requires you to grow and nurture self-compassion and connection with yourself, and to practice celebrating yourself instead of tearing yourself down.
I’m going to guide you through honouring the call to write and to cultivate a writer life that sets you up for every chance at success (and success defined on your own terms).
Every writer needs help - it is okay to ask for it.
Tapping into outside resources can bring really powerful assistance into your writing practice and publishing journey. when working with these outside sources, it is important to remain open to the ways that people and their knowledge and skill can help you grow.
By the end of this course, you’ll have effective tools and techniques that can help you manage your inner writing battles, finish projects that you’re proud to share and work with focus to turn your writing dreams into a reality.
Big Writer Energy is designed to help you live your best writer life.
