This month, we’ll close the year with a heart-centered approach to goal setting. Instead of chasing external milestones or perfection, you’ll learn to create intentions rooted in your values and rhythms. Together, we’ll design meaningful goals for your writing and four key life areas — goals that bring peace, purpose, and momentum.

Dialogue is the heartbeat of any story—it reveals character, shapes emotion, and carries the reader through each moment of connection and conflict. Whether you write fiction, memoir, or nonfiction, learning to “hear” the natural rhythm of conversation will help you bring your words to life. This month you'll learn how to write dialogue that feels real, reads smoothly, and communicates the unspoken layers beneath the words.

Every writer goes through seasons. Some days, your ideas bloom and words flow effortlessly. Other times, it feels like everything has gone quiet, and you wonder if the spring will ever return. The truth is — these cycles are natural, necessary, and deeply human. This month, we’ll explore how to honor your own creative rhythms with compassion and you’ll learn how to see rest, reflection, and even challenges as fertile ground for your writing life.

This month we’re diving into one of the most powerful tools in your writing toolbox: point of view. POV isn’t just a technical choice—it’s the heartbeat of your story. The perspective you choose determines what your readers see, how close they feel to your characters, and what emotional journey they experience. A well-chosen POV can make your writing come alive with intimacy, urgency, or sweeping scope.

This month we'll talk about your voice as a writer, dealing with imposter syndrome, your writing space, and looking at other blocks and barriers we deal with as writers.

Description is the bridge between your imagination and your reader's experience. It's not mere decoration—it's the foundation that makes your fictional world believable and your non-fiction compelling. Great writers from Dickens to Morrison understand readers don't just want to follow a story; they want to inhabit it.

This month, we're tackling one of the most universal challenges writers face: fear and resistance. Even the most accomplished authors encounter creative blocks, procrastination, and self-doubt. The good news? These obstacles aren't signs you're not meant to write—they're normal parts of the creative process that can be understood and overcome.

This month, we'll focus on developing your powers of observation—one of the most valuable skills any writer can cultivate. Whether you're crafting vivid fiction or compelling nonfiction, your ability to notice and capture the world around you will dramatically enhance your writing. Influential writers are great observers.

Most of us feel self-confident in several areas. It’s where we shine and feel in control of what we are doing. But what about self-worth? How many of us feel worthy of authoring a book, worthy of success, or worthy of celebrating our wins? This month, we’ll be digging deep into what keeps us from feeling worthy of achieving our goals and dreams. And what we can do to change our mindset of feeling unworthy.

Following up with last month’s Keeping it Simple theme, we’re going to look at how to further preserve our peace when life seems out of control. We’ll be talking about how to focus on the task at hand and how to set boundaries for those things that seem to come at us, but are out of our control. We will set one writing goal for the month.

Lately, I’ve noticed so many people (including myself) dealing with overwhelm. When we try to do too much, or don’t take a break between ‘things’ it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. For the month of February, we’re going to take a step back and take things one at a time. We’ll be discussing the book “It’s That Simple: A User’s Manual For Human Beings.” We will set one writing goal for the month.

For the month of January, we’re going to look at the things that impede our freedom to create, including creative blocks and other obstacles. We will also set one writing goal for the month.

In October, we focused on Self-Care. November, we focused on Self-Talk. Now, we’re going to focus on the routines that nourish and encourage us and step away from those that discourage and drain us. For the month of December, we’re going to look at the routines (or habits) we have formed and focus on doing more of those that bring us peace and nurture ourselves. We’re also going to set ONE writing goal for the month. More about that during our first Zoom on December 4.

It’s easy to say wonderful things about others, but in talking to ourselves, we are usually more harsh, judgmental, and downright negative. For the month of November, we’re going to look at how we talk to ourselves when things don’t go the way we’d planned or we mess up. We’re also going to look at how we can challenge ourselves to change our negative self-talk into positive, encouraging, affirming thoughts.

It is one of the most important things we need to take time for, but rarely do - taking care of our own mental, physical, and emotional health. We’ll be talking about how self-care helps us as writers and the various kinds of self-care.
