Smart Creative Women! Your Unmet Writing Dreams Are Calling Me

Find Your Creative Confidence (It was Under the Couch All Along)

Dear smart women 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.

Why I do this work:

The World Needs Your Big, Brilliant Ideas

And you need someone with you throughout the process.

Holding you accountable…in a kind, but call-you-by-your-last-name sort of way.

Reminding you that writing will be a PITA until you show up to claim it.

When will you stop hiding your gifts?

When will you stop armoring up and start using your arm, and the hand that’s attached to it?😜

“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.”

“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:

🔹 Deal With Your Baggage 🔹 Stop shaming yourself for not writing and address the inner issues holding you back.

🔹 Stop Endlessly Outlining – Seriously 🔹 Overplanning is so 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.
