Smart Creative People! Your Unmet Writing Dreams Are Calling
Find Your Creative Confidence (It was Under the Couch All Along)
Dear smart people who are secretly scared about writing a book,
It’s tough love time. Here’s the truth:
✹ Your productivity apps won’t save you
✹ Expensive self-guided courses with no personal contact are just...expensive.
✹ And that “Write Your Book in a Weekend” workshop? Yikes!
Not-So-Fun-Fact: good writing takes years. And lots of support. And you can do it.
To finish your most important writing projects – and lead a satisfying, creative life – you have to know, like, and trust your own process.

"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."
Brooke Harker
Change Agent, Certified Coach, Left/Right Brain Genius in training
Writing nonstop since ‘94.
Certified coach and doin’ it since ’99.
Leading writing and creativity workshops in France since ‘05.
Published eight books, all about….wait for it….. writing.
Uncertifiably, wildly creative, and on fire about bringing ideas to life.
I will help you figure out what goes in your book, how to say it authentically, and how to get out of fear and into action.
BTW-- I’m still in it myself. As a result, I’m never on the sidelines but always on/by your side.
P.S. European sensibility. American drive. Ride my bike everywhere – often in a dress.
"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

Some important first steps:
Get to Know Yourself from the Inside Out Stop shaming yourself for not writing and align with your deeper motivation.
Stop Endlessly Outlining Overplanning is appealing but doesn't get your book done. Great writing happens when the words drop from your head to the page.
Make All Advice Yours When you get ideas from a podcast, don’t forget to make them yours. Adapt them to your weirdness, demons, and dreams.
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.
