Write and finish your damn (good) book!

Hi! I'm Claire! An enthusiastic and imaginative author coach who uses way too many exclamation points, talks too much about my beloved pittie mix, Kira, and is fueled by inspiring and motivating fellow writers! I believe there is no right or wrong way to write a book. I specialize in coaching writers of most genres to make connections with their stories that keep them inspired and motivated to reach The End on their unforgettable and unputdownable novel.

[Toucan Tuesday] Achievement Unlocked! I'm Certified!

Finally Write Your Novel Hi Reader! While on vacation I got some amazing news. My book coach certification application was accepted, and I am officially an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach! I instantly burst into tears. That certification was HARD WORK. I wrote up a blog post aaaalll about it here in order to keep this email short. The certification team mentioned my excitement and enthusiasm for my clients and their projects at least three times in their feedback about my application....

WRITE AND FINISH YOUR DAMN (GOOD) BOOK Hi Reader, You may notice things look slightly different around here! This is a super sneaky sneak peek at my new branding, which will be officially launching sometime in the next 3-6 months. For now, with the spooky vibes of October running through my veins, I thought I'd let you see the new zombies and butterflies brand that encompasses horror and more-er and what I'm all about as both an award-winning horror author AND book coach. On to the...

Finally Write Your Novel Hi Reader! I'm back again to let you know I'm still raising money for the American Red Cross to help those affected by hurricane Helene. All affiliate sales for the amazing Unicorn Mojo Crystal Cauldron will go to the Red Cross. My goal is $200. Right now I'm sitting at I think $20. Every bit helps! Your $9 purchase of the Crystal Cauldron equals $4.50 in the donation pot. Here are a few items to entice you: Create the Writing Life of Your Dreams with the CAN DO...

Finally Write Your Novel Hi Reader! I realized this morning that helping those affected by hurricane Helene is probably more important right now than feeding the puppies and kitties in Colorado. My heart, thoughts, and love go out to all affected by the storm. Therefore, all affiliate sales made during this month will be donated to the American Red Cross. My goal is $200. Here's a quick reminder how you can help me raise the funds: Ruth Ridgeway's Journaling products - now until October 5th...

Finally Write Your Novel Hi Reader! I apologize in advance for coming at you hot and heavy with some salesy stuff, but it’s all for a good cause! There’s a LOT going on over here, including two amazing sales and a big update! Contents and pre-TL;DR: I’m raising $200 for Colorado Pet Pantry, an organization that helps feed animals in animal shelters.

A carved sign that reads You Are Awesome

Finally Write Your Novel Hi Reader! Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know you are amazing. You are always enough. You are whatever you want to be in whatever way you want to be it.

Finally Write Your Novel Hi Reader! We just wrapped up the Novel-Worthy Idea Live Challenge and had SO MUCH FUN! If you want to get on the waitlist for the next one, you can do so here. Today is all about the rules to writing a novel... “There are three rules to writing a novel. Unfortunately nobody can remember what they are.” - Somerset Maugham. I read the above quote in a book called Dark Thoughts on Writing, which is one of those collections of question answers from famous writers, which...

Finally Write Your Novel Hi Reader! A month or so ago, I had a tarot reading done (yep, I'm that chick) from Joanna Hennon, a "medium" of sorts I have followed for a few years. I got to ask Joanna's spirit guides three questions. One of them was, “What does my audience need from me most right now?” Her guides told me that you need me to show you that you have choices. That there are infinite possibilities available to you, but you either may not know about the choices, or you feel there are...

Finally Write Your Novel Hi Reader! A writer's nightmare is losing her work because she failed to hit save or back things up. But that's not what I'm talking bout today While writing up the content for the Dull to Dynamic masterclass, I found I wasn’t exactly excited about putting this one out into the world as a masterclass (maybe because the word masterclass has negative connotations for me). Anyway, instead of creating a masterclass, I’m going to create a mini-course with a PDF...
