From “I'm Not Creative” to “I Made This!”
Who this is for: You have a book inside you. Maybe several. But something's stopping you. Perhaps you don't think you're creative enough. Or perhaps you've started writing and stopped a dozen times. Perhaps you wonder if you have anything worth saying.
The transformation: You go from someone who desperately wants to write a book but doesn't believe they can, to someone who holds their first book in their hands and proudly says: “I made this.”
I know this path well, as I always dreamed of writing a novel, but for decades, I didn't think I was creative enough.
When I finally wrote and published my first thriller, Pentecost (which I later re-wrote and re-published as Stone of Fire), I was so proud to hold that book in my hand and say, “I made this!”
I still love to say that with every book! I hope you get to feel that too.
What shifts during this transformation:
- Your identity: You stop waiting for permission and claim the word ‘writer' and/or ‘author'
- Your habits: You build a sustainable creative practice that actually works for your life
- Your confidence: You finish what you start and prove to yourself what's possible
This transformative path includes:
- Writing your first novel, memoir, or non-fiction book
- Overcoming creative blocks and resistance
- Building a writing habit that sticks
- The author mindset shift: believing you're a “real” writer
