Finally Write Your Novel

Hi Reader!

I apologize in advance for coming at you hot and heavy with some salesy stuff, but it’s all for a good cause! There’s a LOT going on over here, including two amazing sales and a big update!

Contents and pre-TL;DR:

Amazing Thing #1:

Ruth Ridgeway, my business mentor and coach, is having a birthday sale. Now, I know you are a writer and not necessarily a business owner (though if you do plan to independently publish, you’ll be a business owner), but she does have an amazing product all about creating journals.

If you have checked out my own 30-days of prompts product, I got the self-reflection style prompts from Ruth’s 1000 Prompts course and I have plans to create a guided mindset journal for writers with her Journal Template Kit course (someday). Both are so worth checking out. Details below.

1000 Journal Prompts - $12.50 $25

Journal Template Kit - $25 $50

Amazing Thing #2:

If you recently joined the Toucan Fam (Toufam!), you may not know about my masterclass, Create Your Writing Life with the CAN DO Formula. You can currently get this $97 masterclass as part of the Unicorn Mojo Crystal Cauldron bundle (along with other amazing resources) for a mere $9.

The Crystal Cauldron Bundle has something for everyone in categories such as:

  • Writer’s Journey – this is where you’ll find my masterclass and these gems:
    • The Creative Unicorn’s Book Crafting Workbook from Unicorn Mojo
    • Ignite Your Reader List Kickstart Guide for the Indie Fiction Author from Alicia Forest
    • Complete Self-Publishing Toolkit from Kim Galloway
    • The Self-Revision Checklist from Mikael Short
    • CYA with AI Content Workflow & Checklist from Suz Brick
    • Business Wizardry: Breaking Writer’s Block with ChatGPT from Zarah McIntosh
  • Abundant Living - mindset and manifestation stuff
  • The Cosmic Blueprint - self care and healing stuff
  • The Eclectic Witch’s Toolkit - Witchy stuff, including connecting with animal spirits and shadow work (which is great for unlocking your subconscious for writing!)
  • The Intentional Family Blueprint - Mom stuff, relationship stuff, travel stuff, and more
  • Profit Pathways - Money stuff!
  • Radiant Wellness - Mindset and healing
  • The Wild at Heart Collection - Pet stuff!
  • AND MORE!!!! So. Much. More.

>> You have until October 31st to snag this awesome super bundle for just $9.

Ruth’s sale and the Unicorn Mojo bundle are affiliate links, which means I will earn a small commission at no cost to you.

AAAND… Every cent I make in affiliate sales this month, I will be donating to Colorado Pet Pantry, an organization that provides pet food to animal shelters. But you must use my affiliate links in order for me to tally up the total.

My goal is $200 ($5 will feed a pet for 1 month, so we’ll be feeding a lot of puppies and kitties). Will you help me reach my goal?

Now the update:

After 2.5+ish years doing this You Can, Toucan! business, I’m finally figuring out who I am as a coach and what I want to really focus on. I love connection. I love watching a writer’s eyes light up when I ask a question that unlocks something inside of them and gives them clarity. I love brainstorming and helping writers expand their story sparks into novel-worthy ideas. I love guiding them on their creative journey to reaching The End. I love helping them figure out “what’s wrong” with their finished manuscript AND guiding them with actionable steps to fix it.

What this means for you:

  • Clarity around how I can help you.
  • Better, more value packed articles.
  • Newsletters with actual mini-book coaching inside.
  • Free coaching (story development, brainstorming, and mindset).
  • Free (or low-cost) workshops that are ACTUAL workshops and not pitches for you to get something higher priced.
  • I’m thinking about rebooting the podcast in a very specific way that is super exciting, too.

Also, a whole new look (cue Aladdin’s A Whole New World). A whole new brand. Something that really clarifies who I am and what I do. I’m so excited and I hope you’ll join me on this wild ride!

Summary and TL;DR:

Keep writing!

Claire

WRITE AND FINISH YOUR DAMN (GOOD) BOOK Hi Reader, I’m fluttering into your inbox today, very much like how story ideas flutter around our heads. Occasionally they choose to land on us and soak into our sponge-like minds where they whisper, “Hey… please write me! I’m a story worth telling!” I fully believe that the ideas that come to us are living creatures waiting to be brought to life (just read Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic for a compelling story about this!). These ideas want to be given a...

WRITE AND FINISH YOUR DAMN (GOOD) BOOK Hi Reader, I’m shambling into your inbox today to talk about time again, because most of the time we don’t have time. And like I said last week, our creative efforts are often pushed to the bottom of the to-do list to be completed after all the other things that vie for our attention. What if I told you that, amongst all the things you have to do day to day, you do have time to write—you just might not see it yet? Hear me out! I know, that sounds like,...

WRITE AND FINISH YOUR DAMN (GOOD) BOOK Hi Reader, January… everyone’s talking about resolutions and goals and planning… I’m over here just happy to have survived a polar vortex (coupled with gusting wind that always makes me feel like the giant cottonwood in our backyard is going to fall over and kill us #horrorauthor). This tree is massive. Giant cottonwood tree with a brilliant pink, purple, and blue sunrise behind it. I’m also reeling at the state of the world. Fires destroying so much of...
