writing fit challenge

I'm not here to teach you HOW to write.
I'm here to ensure THAT you write.

what you get

Begin your writing habit with an arsenal of tools to crush your inner critic/procrastinator/excuse maker every time. We write with no distractions (no social media, no google), we write for set periods of time, we write in silence, but we don’t write alone.

  1. Weekly Group Creativity Coaching Sessions with me so you can discover new ways to unlock your creative brain and put it to use in session.

  2. On Demand Focus Sessions (10min, 24min & 45min) so you can Write Club at any time.

  3. Word Count Tracker & Time Trackers so you can thrive on the dopamine hits of your labours

  4. Your Own App To Enter Write Club at Any Time - (and put the distractions of the internet in the bin)

I’m SO KEEN to write!

Join the 6 Week Writing Fit Challenge

$397

A 6 week program to break the writing drought.

Do you want to write more?

I bet you’ve tried enrolling in writing courses, undergoing mentoring, bloodletting  on the altar of Hemingway, and (let’s face it) fkn Morning Pages. Nothing really sticks, right?

How do you find the TIME to sit down for an hour a day if you have kids, or a full time job?

How do you justify spending money on writing mentorships when you don’t have the resources to do the work they require of you?

Is the constant battle to put the stories in your head on the page really worth it?

Can you even get ahead on your writing project  without having every single piece of information at your fingertips?

And when should you tell your family you need to be alone to write?

What about a blog? You should definitely be starting one of those, right?

STOP.

If any (or all) of the above questions run through your head… I might be able to help.

Hey, it's Donné  👋 I’m NOT a writing teacher and I don't claim to know it all, but I HAVE found a way to have a regular writing practice and have this while being a single  parent, running my own business (one that has nothing to do with writing), studying, and juggling  multiple artistic projects.

It took me a long time to get here.

I'd procrastinate like all hell and I had a million reasons why sitting down to write today was just not possible. I couldn’t ever seem to make the time/money equation work.

Anyways, if you relate…

Here is what I’m proposing.

Write Club is a space where all of us can go  from never having enough time or resources to sit and write, to developing  a regular writing habit.

No messing around, just a simple process that takes you from dying in the procrastination abyss to getting stuck into your writing projects.

I’m keeping our first group to only 10 people, so if you want to grab a spot, best you get in quick.

Get ready writers, we begin the week of November 25.

  • On 25 November, 10 Founding Members of 6 Week Writing Fit Challenge will kick off their journey working closely with me to achieve a regular writing practice.

  • The program is specifically designed to put an end to procrastination, avoidance and overwhelm when it comes to sitting down to write. It’s designed for people who’ve tried writing courses, mentorships, setting the alarm for stupid o’clock, maybe even The Artist’s Way, and still haven’t been able to really get stuck into their writing project. ADHD and neurospicy folk friendly!

  • We meet online 1hr/week for 6 weeks. I also encourage you to schedule in 4 other On Demand sessions per week of 10, 24 or 45min (you could commit to 10mins a day if you want. It’s up to you!)

  • You’ll get 6 live group creativity coaching classes, on demand writing sessions, accountability trackers and community, all housed away from social media in the Write Club app.

  • First I'll guide in an exercise to get you out of your head and into the zone. I like to do a blend of physical, breath based and meditative. We'll then warm up with a short writing exercise with the option to share if you want. After that, WE WRITE for 40mins.

  • No, but you are welcome to fling ideas about with me in the chat. If you really need to talk, we can talk separately to the rest of the group in a zoom room.

  • Yes! You can communicate with the others in your class via the app. Want to throw around ideas? Do it. Want to invite others to Write Club separately? Great idea!

  • I'm here to facilitate a space that gets you writing more regularly on your own project, whatever that may be. I hear the same thing from writers all the time. Distracted, perfectionist, overwhelmed, no money, no time etc. This 6 week challenge is important, because it will give you the tools to navigate your writing obstacles. I want a thriving community of writers using this app. The course is the set-up to ensure you keep writing once the initial enthusiasm wears off - my hope is we can do that together in this space.

  • It doesn’t. The 6 week challenge is a kickstarter that will give you a bunch of tools to use when you’re avoiding sitting down to write, along with group writing sessions. The habit comes after (and I’ll guide you through that for as long as you want).

You can’t fail.
Every day we Begin Again.
Let’s do it together.

‘Donné gently challenged me to think more deeply about my creative process, she helped me to identify my blocks, and she provided me with the tools I needed to begin unlocking my creative potential. I loved the guided exercises which were both practical and inspiring. Just what I needed!
My creative self says, “Thank you for liberating me, Donné.”’
