A recurring 4-week in-person writing accountability and co-working group to help you make progress on your writing
You want to write. You mean to write. But somehow, another week slips by …
The project is still sitting there. The blinking cursor. The half-revised draft. The query letter you promised yourself you’d send.
You’re not alone. Writing is hard, even when it’s something you love. Life gets busy. Motivation wobbles. The couch wins.
Write Your Way Forward is here to change that. It’s not a “class” in the usual sense. It’s a cozy, committed group of fellow writers coming together to get things done—with support, encouragement, and accountability.
Write Your Way Forward will help you make steady progress on whatever writing project is calling your name–from writing a first draft to querying agents, from revising and researching to marketing yourself as a writer.
Whether you’re drafting, revising, querying, blogging, or just trying to show up for your writing practice more consistently, this group is your soft place to land and your firm-but-loving nudge forward.
How It Works
Each week, we’ll meet in person at the Wordcrafters studio. Our time together follows a gentle, motivating rhythm:
-Check in: A gentle start to share what’s blooming and what’s feeling sticky in your writing life
-Goal setting: Set a doable intention for the session (or your whole week) – whether it’s “write 300 words” or “open the dang Scrivener file,” we’re here for it
-Focus Time: Write in companionable quiet for about an hour – fueled by chocolate
-1:1 support: Sign up to meet with Jeaux (or the guest facilitator) during work time for a 15-minute writing coaching session to talk through what’s got you stuck—logistics, structure, doubt, deadlines—and get practical and emotional support for whatever you’re navigating
-Celebration: Regroup to share what you accomplished (or at least attempted!), get a gold star, and set goals for the week ahead
This group is for you if you
-Are working on a writing project of some kind (any genre)
-Keep getting sidetracked or stalled
-Need a gentle container to help you make progress
-Crave community but still want quiet writing time
-Want support from a pro when you get stuck
What you’ll get from Write Your Way Forward
-A clearer, steadier writing rhythm
-Real progress on your project
-Connection with fellow writers who get it
-Insight and encouragement from a professional writer
-That magical feeling of showing up for your creativity
-Confidence–from giving time to your writing life, community–from fellow writers, and chocolate–because we’re Wordcrafters!
