Quick Announcement: New Website coming! 🎉
|
Hi Reader! I’ve been deep into website redesign the past couple weeks (Wordpress... #iykyk) and I'm almost ready to deploy it! So, my website will be down this weekend for a few days. I'll let you know when it's back up and you can check it out! Why the change? I outgrew my old “single page” site and wanted more room to stretch out! With the discovery of The Creative Goblin Way came a lot of new certainty and clarity around how I help fiction writers ditch the rules, fall back in love with writing again, and finally finish their damn (good) books. I can't wait to unveil the new site! Get excited! I think you're gonna like it (or love it!) Happy Writing! Claire 💛 P.S. No Kira's Korner today... but here's a pic of her in case you miss her face... er... rumpus. |
Write and finish your damn (good) book!

Your writing goal is not a blood oath. You're allowed to change it. Hi Reader, I used to be the kind of writer who treated missed word counts like unpaid debt. Miss 1,000 words on Monday? Better write 2,000 on Tuesday. Miss Tuesday, too? Congratulations! Wednesday's goal is now 3,000 words and a small nervous breakdown. Eventually, the number got so ridiculous that I stopped opening my manuscript altogether. Which is a pretty spectacular result for a goal that was supposed to help me finish...
Hi Reader, If your writing goal is convincing you NOT to write, we have a problem. Stay with me here! 😅 At some point in history, the writing world decided that Real Writers write every day, hit their word counts, and maintain a level of consistency usually reserved for people who don’t have jobs, families, pets, or laundry. Especially laundry. You’ve heard the rules. Write 1,000 words a day. Never miss a morning. Set a page count and stick to it, no matter what. My least favorite: Treat...
