Cynthia Morris Denver writing and book coach Paris online writer workshops

Be the writer you've always wanted to be

Wouldn’t it be great to easily get your ideas out of your head and into the world? Instead, you struggle to put words on paper. At the end of yet another day without writing, you feel defeated, frustrated, and stuck.

I know how you feel. The weight of unfinished creative work is a heavy burden...but there’s hope.

I learned how to systematically make one creative idea after another a reality, and I can help you do the same—in a way that works for you.

If you’re tired of talking about your book idea, and ready to finally get it done, you’re in the right place.

I’m Cynthia Morris, a certified coach, published author, and artist. I help you liberate your creative genius, own the fact that you are a writer, and make your creative legacy a reality.

Why I do this work:

Because You Matter and Your Voice Matters Too

If you have the impulse to write, you must follow it. Otherwise, you’ll never discover the gifts and rewards your writing can bring to you and to the world.

Original Impulse was created to make the work of writing easier. Together, we can end writer’s block, and empower you to write what you want, when you want.

After 20 years of working closely with writers just like you, I have plenty of strategies and tactics to help you bring your ideas to light, start your project, and finish it.

You know what to write. You just don’t know how to go from idea to written book. My job is to help you bring out what’s already inside. I serve as your guide as you find the practices, approaches, and rhythms that work for you.

"Cynthia, you are an inspiration. You are the type of person who symbolizes the love of life like a great cup of coffee in a comfy chair. Connecting with you through coaching or your writing and art is a real treat.

Thank you for your kindness and honesty through what has been a storm of a year for me. With love and gratitude, wishing you magic and success."

My Story

Cynthia Morris writing and creativity coach

When I was a young writer and coach, I listened to a successful author speak at a bookstore signing. Like many authors, he emphasized how hard it is to write and get published.

I couldn’t help but wonder how many aspiring authors walked away from that bookstore discouraged and disheartened.

On the way home, I vowed to never be the person focusing on how difficult it is to write and publish. I chose to focus on the value in the practice of writing itself and have helped my clients and students do the same.

Bringing our true self to the page is an act of immense courage and generosity.Writing without knowing there will be an external reward is a gift we give ourselves: We matter. Our stories matter. Our voices matter.

I believe you matter, and your voice matters too.

Since 1996, I’ve been working with writers of all genres and levels to help them discover the many benefits of a writing practice. My clients have published books, blogs, courses, and more. They’ve established solid writing habits that give them the confidence to be more brave and authentic in all areas of life.

As a writer and artist myself, I’ve accessed the joy and power of knowing, liking, and trusting my creative process. I’m on the journey of courage and creative fulfillment right along with you. This is the only way I can coach and teach with integrity and empathy.

As a published author and artist, I’ve gleaned the benefits of a creative practice. I’m more me, more fulfilled, and more empowered as a result of the work I’ve done in my writing and art.

I want this for everyone. The satisfaction we get from our writing is unparalleled. Writing is a great tool for self-reflection and self-knowledge, even if your subject isn’t yourself.

Trained and certified through the global coaching leader, The Co-Active Training Institute, I bring over two decades of passion for the creative process to all my clients and students.

"I couldn’t have chosen a better coach. Cynthia has such a great understanding of what it is to be a creative person and an artist. She knows our mindset, our pitfalls, our dreams, and most importantly, our needs and how to respond to them.

I recommend working with Cynthia if you want to feel empowered, understood, and creatively stimulated! She is extremely professional, there is support even between calls, and it makes a huge difference to know you've got Cynthia (whom I greatly admire) out there really rooting for you!" Andrea Wedell

For fun and joy

Like you, I have a lot of interests. I am a watercolor artist and love to make patterns and illustrations in bold color. Join me in my studio for inspiration for your artist here.

When I am not at work, I love to be in the garden. I find great delight in growing flowers, vegetables and herbs. Inspiration is everywhere things grow!

I can't stop myself from bringing home piles of books from the library. Reading, cooking, biking and practicing yoga all keep me in touch with my creative innocence and with the real world.

Our studio

I built Original Impulse in Denver and Boulder, Colorado. I work and live in central Denver on what was the land of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute tribes.

I support locally-owned businesses by women and BIPOC. I seek to contribute to a world that honors diversity and equity.

A portion of our profits is donated to organizations that help give access to the resources needed to thrive. We loan money through Kiva to women-owned businesses and we donate to WriteGirl, a non-profit that helps girls access their writing voice.

Creative Success Stories

"Being coached by Cynthia highlighted my unrevealed gifts. Our time together has revolutionized the way I work and lead my companies.

Her wisdom about creativity and productivity has added value to every area of my life from personal health to creativity and generating wealth.

I would have never imagined that this powerhouse of a creative would help me grow, connect to my heart and improve my companies in so many areas. Cynthia’s coaching is like supercharging a normal engine; there is no comparison."

John Marsh
Founder, Marsh Collective

"For years, I struggled with this belief that I wasn't good enough, that I wasn't a real writer, that I wouldn't be able to follow through. Your coaching and support opened something in me that had gone dormant.

With your words in my ears and my heart finding new excitement, I pushed the words across the page. My first novel is complete. You, dear Cynthia, helped me lay the dominoes. I can’t thank you enough for the motivation, the inspiration, and the reminder that I was meant to write."

Tabetha Hedrick
Author

"Cynthia has given me my writing voice. I can now say I am a writer. My newsletter readers tell me how much they love receiving it!

Cynthia has a great spark of life that just shines out. She engages in a way that encourages you to challenge yourself as a writer and is there to help pull you out if you get stuck or lost."

Ruth Dent
Artist

"Cynthia helped me drive a short story across the finish line. I recommend Cynthia if you want to learn about your own writing process in an experiential way and get practice on things like letting go of perfectionism for a greater goal."

Roseanne
Writer

"Cynthia helped me so much to develop a writing practice. I love her approach to combining creativity and action. It's gentle and effective and highly self compassionate."

Laila Atalah
Writer

"Because of my work with Cynthia, I have been able to embrace my artist's path and choose a lifestyle that truly speaks to my soul. Instead of trying to be and do everything, I now follow my true desires with courage, joy and serenity.

Cynthia is intuitive, down-to-earth, straightforward and honest. She can read between the lines, and she never lets me run away, give in and give up. Cynthia is a fabulous mentor and an amazing artist."
