Don’t Follow the Muse. Follow a Plan.
The Muse, bless her heart, should not be the orchestrator of your book.
The Muse is wiley, distracted, fickle. What she wants more than anything is fun, adventure, and, please god, anything new.
If you let the Muse guide your novel, it will never arrive anywhere.
Please, dearest, don’t follow the Muse; follow a plan.
A plan is reliable. A plan knows where it’s going. A plan can adapt to new paths without leading you to The Desert Where Stories Die.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a place for the Muse in your writing, but it’s after you know what the hell you’re trying to say and how you want to say it.
If you've been following the Muse into oblivion,
Writing first chapter after first chapter…
Or writing 200,000 words that don’t quite say anything…
Or knocking out a first draft in 30 days only to be TOTALLY overwhelmed by what comes next…
Let me introduce you to your plan. It’s called the Rooted Writers Mentorship.
The Rooted Writers Mentorship helps you find your way through the myriad possibilities, paralyzing imposter syndrome, and sea of overwhelm to a book you are fucking proud of.
A book that impacts your reader on an emotional level, makes them feel seen, and is the story you really want to tell.
The Rooted Writers Mentorship has it all:
Training to help you plan a novel that actually works
Live coaching calls so you can get feedback on your story
Accountability so you can show up for yourself
A timeline that allows for life to happen, doubt to rear its ugly head, and your shit (whether literal or figurative) to slow you down
But you know the best part of the Mentorship?
The community.
Writing a book is hard as hell, especially if you write alone. So don’t write alone.
In the Mentorship, you’ll find other writers who are deeply connected to their stories, who are building impactful novels, and who just GET it.
When you stop writing alone, it changes things.
You become more grounded, motivated, and purposeful.
Plus, when you find yourself hiking toward The Desert while the Muse befuddles you with sparkle bombs, you’ve got folks to call you back to your true destination.
I want to invite you to the Rooted Writers Mentorship.
If you’re here, it’s probably for you.
I know that sales emails can feel gross and smarmy, but I’m extending a genuine invitation to you, not because I want to steal your hard-earned cash, but because people need your story.
Your story matters.
So if what you’ve been doing isn’t working, please, please, head over here to see if the Mentorship is right for you.
Your story is too important to leave in the hands of the Muse.
