The Writing Program You've Been Waiting For
We can show you how to write your book in 2023 in a way that will
make your creativity
(and productivity) burst with joy.
​
Let's do this!
Five months | One focus | Get your book written in 2023
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT​
Over a period of five months, we'll help you bring your skills, ideas, talent, and inner treasures into a page-turning writing journey.
If you are ready for an approach to writing that allows you to blend Big Magic with the ultra-practical—instead of feeling you have to tranquilize your personality and become more author-esque, or 'write through the pain' (oh boy), or feel you need to tone things down so you won't offend anyone with your writing – this program is for YOU.
​
We guarantee: When you show up for yourself and your amazing book, you are going to feel the incomparable feeling of being in integrity with yourself.
​
WHAT GETS IN THE WAY OF WRITING?
OMG! Sooooo many things. Like, no central theme to connect all the dots. No consistent workflow, for sure. No system in place to capture and develop new ideas. A lot of doubt. Not enough trust. Perfectionism. The heavy notion that if you haven't been writing every single day since you were three years old, you've missed the boat. Waiting for the right time. Hoping it will all come together somehow. Thinking, 'who am I to write this book?' Feeling alone and scattered.
​
All of the above has a funny way of turning into:
- Starting. And quitting. Taking one step forward and five thousand steps back. Getting frustrated. Quitting. Buying a new notebook. Starting over again. Hoping inspiration will lift you out of stagnation, like the last helicopter out of Saigon. Wondering why you started this stupid book in the first place. Eating all the chocolate.
​
- Struggling to put pen to paper, because you fail to see what makes your writing unique. Or amazing. Or you wonder, 'Who would ever want to read this? Who am I kidding?'
​
- Smiling through gritted teeth when one of your friends snags herself a book deal.
Yup. We've been there. That's how we know there is another way.
WRITE YOUR BOOK IN 2023
After watching countless writers struggle to give their book the time and the energy it needs and deserves - and after overcoming oh-so-many obstacles ourselves - we're excited to show you a different path. A flight path, if you will, where:
​
-
you'll be supported, uplifted, and on a roll
-
you'll learn in-depth writing tools and strategies that work
-
you'll stop fussing, nitpicking, and itching to 'improve' everything
-
you'll forge a sacred bond between you and your book
-
you'll break free from writer's block and inner drama
-
you'll isolate what you want to write about from what you think you should write about
-
you'll schedule pleasure breaks and celebrate your wins
-
you'll get to say, 'I wrote a book!'
​
We'll also teach you how to create a writing space that feels like a hug, plus share all the mistakes we've made so you don't have to!
​
Meet Sarah and Inger.
Inge and Sarah are both life coaches and authors who are passionate about helping people melt away their final barriers so they can create a business, a book, or anything else they desire from a place of joy, magic, and passion. (Humour is important, too. There is no need to take everything so seriously.)
​
Sarah is the author of five books, and the latest one is titled, 'Where the Deer Dream.' She is also a Woman of Medicine and Shamanic Mentor.
​
Inger has published one book and has two others in the works. She is also a practicing Buddhist and has a knack for creating page-turning strategies and structures.
​
Oh, and both of them share a love of unleashing their creativity without rules in their wardrobes + homes.
Get In the Creative Zone
To bubble all of your passion, skills, creativity, and stories to the surface in the best possible way, we've divided this program into two parts.
​
PART ONE: We start with a four-week intensive where we'll create the perfect outer and inner environment for your book. Excuses melt away as you highlight everything that works in your favour.
PART TWO: Next, prepare yourself for a four-month deep dive. You'll write, write and write, show up for your book in a way that works for you, and you'll allow yourself to have a blast along the way.
All the Practicalities
PART ONE | FEATHERING THE NEST
​
For the first four weeks, we'll hit the ground running with weekly Zoom calls that will take place on January 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st. The calls will start at noon Central Time/6 PM UK time and last for 90 minutes. If you can't be there live, we'll send you the recordings the very next day. In between calls we'll stay in touch and cheer you on in our Facebook group.
​
During this time we'll turn our attention inwards so your writing can play an expanded role in your life. Lovingly and strategically creating that space will allow you to keep working on your book, no matter what kind of fancy tricks your inner critic might pull.
​
​
1. Week One
Here we'll set the scene by creating an insanely inviting writing space. One that draws you in, like a red carpet event. Next, we'll gather all our writing materials (notes, journals, printouts), followed by blocking out time for writing. We recommend setting aside at least 3-5 hours a week to write. We'll also share strategic writing tools and our favorite writing tips from Elizabeth Gilbert.
​
2. Week Two
Your book is done! How did that happen? That's the focus of this week's call. We'll reverse engineer the process and re-trace our steps. This powerful exercise will highlight all the things that work in your favour, what to watch out for, and how to navigate outer demands and challenges. Once you know the lay of the land, you no longer have to worry about your life getting in the way of your writing.
​
​
3. Week Three
But what about inner obstacles, like your unhelpful thoughts? Here we'll share practical and magical tools (yes, you need both) that will help you focus when your book feels too big and overwhelming. Or not big enough. Or you're disgusted with your writing. Just rest your wings . . . ahhhh. . . while we guide you out of the swamp.
​
​
4. Week Four
Here you'll learn off-beat tools to keep the momentum going. It's also a great time ask the question, 'What do I need?' Maybe it's more time. Boundaries. A second location to work. Getting clear on the title. Better glasses. . . A new structure. Whatever it is, will bring it to the surface and make it happen in the best possible way.

Client Love
"What I believe this group has done for me was to jumpstart me further on my spiritual path. I am writing about my journey on this path. If this is the only result I receive from this group, I’ve hit the jackpot!"
"I have been writing some each day and am creeping up on finishing my first draft. It has been a long road which started with an intention about 7 years ago. I am so grateful for the collective energy of this group."
"What Inger and Sarah have created is so rare, beautiful and magical. Yesterday our session made my soul soar. The ways this is expanding not only my writing and creativity, but every part of my life takes my breath away. I’m so grateful."
PART TWO | TAKING FLIGHT
​
You'll be excited to know that for the next four months, we'll dive deep and shift gears into monthly Zoom calls that will take place on February 21st, March 21st, April 18th, May 16th and June 13th.
The calls will start at noon Central Time/6 PM UK time and last 90 minutes. If you can't make it to the live sessions, we'll send you the recordings the next day. We'll also touch base and hold space for you all in our Facebook group.
In short, during these months we'll focus on writing, writing, writing. Did we mention all the writing? By now you have your writing nook, your journals, your hand-crafted routine, your tools, and your supportive community. It's time to leave the nest. ​
​
And! Since we know how powerful it is to come together and write, we'll host pop-up writing sessions where we will get together on Zoom and just. . . . write. We'll announce the dates well ahead of time so you can fold them into your schedule.
DID ANYONE SAY A MINI-WRITING RETREAT?
Ta-da! Om April 28th, we'll gather for a five-hour online writing retreat. We'll start at 10am Central Time and wrap it up at 3 pm. Make sure to put this in your calendar right away!
​
WORD ON THE STREET. . .
"Instead of trying to fit my life into my writing, I now fit my writing into my life."
"I feared that my life would get overbooked and I wouldn’t have time to write. Now I’ve learned that even when I’m stretched, I can make meaningful progress."
"I desperately craved routine, and here I’ve learned to be intentional and plan ahead."
1. February Session
It's check-in time! Here we'll learn about your progress and give you the writing tools you need for the next leg of your journey. Together we'll tweak, adjust, adapt, and keep going. There will also be time for asking questions and receiving guidance. Prepare to leave the call fired up and ready to write.
​
2. March Session
What happened over the last four weeks? Did you reward yourself along the way? Did anything surprise you? Did you have a breakthrough or a breakdown? Either way, we're here for you. This continues to be the space where we magically turn every obstacle into creative fuel. We'll also make sure you're writing routine continues to feel alive and personal, not stale and formulaic.
​
3. April Session
Now we're in the messy middle. This is where things can get a bit lack-lustre. Or boring. Or confusing. Or maybe all of the above. This doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong, it means you're finally doing it right! Only people who actually show up for their creative journey get to this place. It's a badge of honour. A milestone. We'll be ready with our creative first-aid kit and make sure you have what you need to keep going.
​
4. May Session
Here we'll remove any last whiff of pressure, perfectionism, and overthinking. Seriously, it’s time we all broke up with all of those pesky voices for good and pay attention to the authentic voice that will get you and your book across the finish line. ​
​
5. June Session
Ta-da! Our last session together! Let the celebrations begin. By now you're a seasoned writer with an impressive track record. You have what it takes to navigate resistance and catapult out of stagnation. Whether you finish your book tomorrow or by Christmas, you're now a person who says YES to writing. Yes to the journey. Yes to seeing it through. Translation: you are amazing!
​​
INSIGHTS AND PRAISE
"This writing group has been a turning point for me."
"I’ve searched my whole life for a writing group like this."
"I learned that I’m way more creative than I’ve given myself credit for."
What will YOUR insights be? Wanna find out?
Yes, I am so ready for this!​
​
Our first Zoom call will take place on January 10th, and the last one on June 13th.
If you can't be there live for all of them, no worries. We'll email you the recording.
Also, we'll have our own Facebook group..
But the power of this program is linked to neither Zoom nor Facebook. This is all about listening to the voice that says, 'It's time to write.' It's about honoring your calling, as cliche as that might sound. It's also about feeling less alone and more connected with people who truly get you. And above all, it's about shaking things up a bit and really going for it. If not now, when?
​
Come! We can't wait to meet you!
​
It doesn’t matter if your book lives in your head or you’ve already started.
Either way, you'll get something out of this program.

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED
In the history of writing, people have written books as a hobby, as a calling, as part of their healing journey, out of desperation, and just for fun.
​
Had these people started out being overly worried about things like spelling, grammar, not being a good writer in the 5th grade, and not having anything original to say, a fair amount of nothing would have happened. This is why the following will NOT be included in this program:
​
- We will not edit, read, or critique your work
- We will not ask you to share your work with the other people in the group
- We will not have you read anyone else's work.
​
This program is all about getting you from 'Once upon a time' to 'THE END'. After you've reached that magnificent milestone, you can seek out all the editors, proofreaders, and beta-readers you want. Or not! Up to you.
​
But first things first. GET. THE. BOOK. DONE. Block out all the noise and focus on your writing.
