If you were the troll under a bridge in a story you’re writing – what three questions would you ask? What are you dying to know the answer to?

A lot of my clients want to know – (in your best troll voice) “Why can I write easily sometimes and other times, not at all?”

or

“What is wrong with me? I start things all the time and never finish them.”

or (a troll usually gets 3 questions… )

“I know I’m creative, but how do I know if I’m any good?”

And if you’re like every protagonist in every story, you will face the troll from under the bridge, and take on his challenging questions. But how? Who must you slay? How can you display your strengths? How will your cleverness save you?

Facing a challenge can define us – show us our strengths, help us face our limitations. If we weren’t up for challenges, none of us would be writers. Your troll usually appears midway through a grander  – like a quest to save a Prince from a high tower. On the way you are met with a smaller challenge, which gives you a gift or secret power. Do you accept the challenge? Or do you procrastinate, watch tv or bake something complicated, and ignore the challenge?

I am that troll that blocks a bridge. And if you face my challenge, you will gain incredible insight into your self, your creativity and why you sometimes resist writing and/or promoting your work. (I happen to be a troll with a Masters in Creativity, but no judgement, right?) And the little known secret is, there are no consequences in this challenge. Everyone gains. Everyone who shows up for the challenge and commits, gets to cross the bridge and continue on their creative quest, empowered.

Thus, I invite you to the 5-Day Write Without the Fight Challenge – and it’s free. Starts Monday 10/26 in the WWTF FB group!

I’m so happy, so many of you are already signed up and will be joining me in this challenge in pursuit of deeper self-knowledge, and clarity about how your creativity works.

The 5-Day Write Without the Fight Challenge will be starting Monday 10/26 and will be right in the FB Group!  Oh, and did I say, it’s free? To sign up and get reminders and handouts, go here.

A few details, so you know exactly what to expect:

#1. Get ready to explore your creative thinking style and discover how this inborne preference affects your creative process. Discover how to work best with how your own creative mind works (and sometimes doesn’t.) Compassion and self-knowledge can help you silence the Inner Critic and help you enjoy your creative work.

Be sure to mark these dates and times on your calendar now, so you can tune in and attend each piece of the training live:

  • MON- 10/26: 12pm PT/ 3pm ET – See It
  • TUE- 10/27: 12pm PT/ 3pm ET – Name It
  • WED- 10/28: 12pm PT/ 3pm ET – Claim It

  • FRI- 10/30: 12pm PT/ 3pm ET – Tame It

#2. Each day’s session will be recorded – and I’m happy to help you find them in the UNITS tab of our FB group. But if you can join us live each day, I’ll be giving away creative products daily – only for the people who show up live and do the homework. I’ve got some fun prizes picked out for you!

#3. Challenges in life help you gain a deeper self-knowledge. We writers are often on a quest for better understanding of ourselves. The better you know yourself, the better you can share yourself in your writing.

The Free 5-Day Write Without the Fight Challenge gives you structure and daily connection, insight, homework and more.

I’m creating a workbook for you, and will be sending that via email to the registered participants. Register here, if you haven’t already. Finally – this workshop is especially for you if you want to write with more ease, feel more confident and satisfied with your creative process and outcome.

I’m so excited!! Can’t wait to see you next week – October 26th! Head over to the FB group and post any questions you might have.
