Make Writing a Happy Habit

Finally, make progress and enjoy your writing life!

March 19th – April 27th, 2012

Course fee: $137

If you’re tired of struggling to get to your writing projects, Make Writing a Happy Habit is what you’ve been waiting for. This online course goes where other classes don’t: straight to the heart of why you write, so you can build a solid foundation to continue writing even when class is over.

If you are:

  • Full of ideas but lack the discipline to focus, follow through and finish
  • Isolated and yearning for the support of a writing community
  • Lacking the structure and focus you need to stay with your writing projects
  • Unable to make time for writing, always pushing it aside for other demands…

This is the class that will put writing where it belongs: at the heart of your creative life so you can feel great about seeing your brilliant ideas take shape.

Here’s what I’ve seen in over fourteen years of coaching writers:

Many writers will start their writing lives with a class in how to write a novel, essays, a blog, poetry…. This is normal, and of course we need instruction so we can learn our craft.

The problem is that we count on these classes to help us build a writing life, and the classes aren’t designed to do that. They’re designed to teach us the craft of novel or poetry writing.

You use the class deadlines to give you structure to make sure you write, and that works for a while. But then what happens when the class is over?

You know it too well: without the structure of the class, you don’t write. And you beat yourself up for it.

These dates aren’t convenient for you? Prefer to study on your own? Take the self-lead Make Writing a Happy Habit course and work at your own pace!

“Cynthia Morris’s coaching and mentoring talents are powerful and rare; she is sophisticated about finding the soul of what you do. She helps you create a disciplined yet non-overwhelming way for you to actually reach your writing goals. Few advisors can do both so well. I highly recommend her coaching.” Joseph Coplans, InkStain Inc.

You can make writing a habit – a habit you anticipate, enjoy, and that enriches your life. In this course you will:

Make it happen

  • Use structures and systems that help you stay organized
  • Keep a consistent writing schedule that works in your busy life
  • Choose a project to focus on to give your writing intentions traction

Make it happy

  • Use specific strategies to override the critical voice that stops you
  • Engage your emotions rather than be overwhelmed by them
  • Recognize your writing style so you feel free to express yourself authentically

Make it integrated to empower your whole life

  • Identify the powerful force that motivates you past obstacles
  • Get help from friends and family to make it easier
  • Learn how to balance multiple projects with the rest of your commitments

Make it connected

  • Tap your writing DNA through your creative ancestors
  • Develop a supportive writing tribe both online and in person
  • Knowing how, when and from whom to get useful feedback.

“I loved waking each morning to find a different, thought-provoking lesson in my in-box, plus the class interaction with other participants and the fact Cynthia responded to each post individually. I really felt I was heard and valued as a participant. And I found a writing buddy in class so we’ve begun a relationship – I got to talk with her yesterday!

I have begun daily writing and have moved toward completion of the book I’m writing. The best thing I took from Cynthia’s class is the fact “I am a writer.” I don’t have to be widely published to be a writer…it comes from inside!” – Michelle, freelance writer

Writers of every level and genre will benefit from Make Writing a Happy Habit.

With your happy writing habit, you will:

  • Have clarity on what you want to write
  • Have made significant progress on a project
  • Know your next steps
  • Enjoy a writing habit that suits your goals and style

I’m your writing coach, Cynthia Morris, and I’ve coached thousands of writers to create their happy habit. My happy writing habit has allowed me to finish and publish Create Your Writer’s Life, write a historical novel, Chasing Sylvia Beach, pen five e-books and write over 500 articles. I use my successes to mentor you to achieve yours.

Imagine the joy I feel when I see my students go from stressed, uptight and fearful to happy, engaged, and loving writing! That transformation is why I put this curriculum together in a way that allows you to work on your own project and get support from me.

Finally, you’ll have the structure and focus to write what you really want. At the end of the class you’ll have everything you need to keep writing – whether you’re in a class or not. The lessons will provide you with the tools you need to keep renewing your writing habit. We will not be reading and offering critique on your writing – that’s for the craft classes.

And because all work and no play makes for a dull day, you’ll get plenty of inspiration to make your writing habit a happy one – a habit you relish, a habit that enhances the rest of your life, a habit that expresses your true vitality.

Based on my book, Create Your Writer’s Life, this class will gain a deeper relationship with their writing to enjoy your brilliance, not fight it.

Get in now and avoid hanging around on a waiting list for the next cycle!

Space is limited in this class. I’ll be giving hands-on attention to you in our online classroom, and there’s only so many students I can work with at a time. Cost for the class is $137.

How This Online Class Works

Log onto your computer from home, office or the road. The flexibility is great – make it perfect for busy moms, executives or anyone who already has a busy schedule.

You’ll get emails Monday through Friday. Each day’s lessons are posted in our online classroom, and the emails simply serve as a reminder to visit the class. You’ll be able to access the class lessons anytime you wish.

Class lessons include PDF downloads and audio files. You’ll have five lessons per week. They’re designed to be easy to complete in a day or two.

Here’s a sample audio lesson: Celebrate Your Happy Writing. It’s less than 2 minutes long and could change your life for the better.

There are no scheduled class times. All the class materials are on the private class blog that you can access at your convenience. That’s where you’ll interact with your writing coach and your fellow classmates.

Kick the class off right! We will have one 60-minute live group conference call for additional, customized support. Come with your questions, to state your intentions and get coaching guidance from me. Our call is on Wednesday, March 21st, at 12:00 pm MST. Recording of the call provided afterward. Long distance charges apply.

“Cynthia, perhaps this class has been more effective than I realized. I started a new blog today…and it is mainly for me and I feel good about that! I have been very impressed with your hands-on approach. I enjoyed the daily lessons along with your photographs.

You have an excellent program and I recommend it to my fellow writers. With gratitude,” Bev

For the class, you’ll need:

A basic understanding of the online world – how to download a PDF file and an mp3 file, how to leave a comment on a blog. If you don’t yet know how to do these things and want to take a class, please ask a friend or family member to help you. I’ll try to offer help as I can but you should have these basic skills before the class starts.

Get clarity on your happy writing habit and coaching to ensure that you keep the habit alive. Join me and your writing tribe to celebrate your progress and get support for your writing habit.

Power forward even more!

Want more interaction? No problem! If you want live coaching support from me during the class, I’m offering an add-on coaching session.

Or, get powerful one-one coaching to remove any final blocks and set yourself on a specific course to keep writing, happily.

Add a 60-minute phone coaching session with Cynthia for only $137. This discounted rate is available only to class participants. Consultation must take place within 3 weeks of the last day of class at a mutually convenient time.

“I liked having an inspiring and trustworthy mentor/teacher. I am now ‘developing’ – as a writer and also as a human being. The exercises about bringing order to your writing – having a system for your writing and materials – were great. Free writing turned out to be right down my alley as well. I definitely recommend MWHH! Thank you Cynthia!” — Christina Etzell, Writer in progress
