Spring Creative Commitment (SCC):
Reaching Writing Goals But Make It Fun

Approaching goals seasonally with gentle focus (re-reads note to self: it doesn’t have to be punishing) often makes my work richer and my goals more attainable. I’ve written several books this way. Also, body doubling, anyone? When I work with fellow writers, I’m encouraged not only to keep going but to try different approaches. It helps me focus and evolve.

Finishing a novel draft this Spring? Starting something new? Meeting your submission/querying goals?

This three-month offering will give you the structure you need to create with the energy and fun of fellow writers who want to make major moves before summer in a nourishing way. And, as anyone who’s worked with me knows, there WILL BE MAGIC.

Early bird pricing ends on Friday, February 28, EOD.

This three-month, intention-oriented offering includes:

• 3 Saturday morning virtual gatherings* from 10am-12:30pm CST for studying craft, sharing intentions**, and getting work done. *All gatherings will be recorded and available for one week following the scheduled session. **SCC is capped at fifteen writers.

• 30 minute consultation with me prior to our first meeting to discuss personal goals and desires. An opportunity to declare: This is where I want to be in three months.

• 30 minute follow-up to discuss where you are and what you need to keep the energy going.

• Two 1.5 hour Studio Sessions for working in community with optional guided writing.

• Option to sign up for a majorly discounted 15-page manuscript read.

• Curated playlist for spring work + other fun bonus-tools along the way.

VIBE CHECK: For folks who've done the Quarterly Creative Commitment track, this has a similar vibe with a communal feel.

Recruit a friend who’s new to Blue Stones, and you both receive 40% off! Simply email me here, and I’ll send you the codes.
