Novelists, Welcome to your writer’s adventure
What are you beginning?
Can you embrace the new and unknown in your writer’s adventure?
Novelist, Are you ready to start something new? How is your writing going?
In the last 9 months I’ve been transitioning from a coach who helped all writers to a coach who helps only fiction writers.
To that end, I launched a new author group coaching program for novelists last fall that ended yesterday. I’m launching my new program for novelists at the start of May. More on that below.
I want to pause for a moment and share about the archetype of the Fool, the Zero in the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. I really like how the fool as depicted in this image has extreme confidence as he steps off the cliff, the faithful dog at his heels.
Many people interpret this card as a scary place to be, and try to move away from “not knowing” as soon as possible. I know I have. But I know as a creative person that this first stage of “not knowing” is so fruitful.
You’re opening to what’s new, even if you don’t know what this is yet.
I’m actually at this stage. I’ve just finished a novella that I’m editing and will be published in May. I’m now prepping for my next novella and asking myself questions: who are my main characters? Where will the story be set? What will the main conflict be?
What questions are you asking about your story? How can you open to what you don’t know yet and have that be okay?
On that note of openings, I’d like to invite you to join us on our special call coming in about 2 weeks!
Hope you can join us!
