Get Unstuck Now

Cynthia Morris Denver book coach writing coach

Sometimes you need a quick new insight or strategy to dive into the writing zone. More than the simplistic advice to ‘just do it’, these tried-and-true methods will get you started right away.

I’ve only included a few of the articles I’ve written on this topic, because I know how easy it is to get stuck reading advice articles. Go on, now, get that pen fired up!

  • Unconventional Advice for Getting Creatively Unstuck
  • Benefits of a Creative Daily Practice
  • Seven Steps to Get Your Groove Back when You’ve lost Your Creative Rhythm
  • Get Ready to Feel More Sane and Creatively Rich
  • ‘The “F” Word Isn’t So Bad. Really.  

Books* and Articles

As a girl, I would come home from the library every week with a big stack of books. Nothing has changed, except that I’ve devoted my life’s work to books and the people who write them. Here you’ll find a curated library of my books, my clients’ works, and books I know you’ll find inspiring and useful.

Scroll down this page for my most popular articles to spark you to get started writing and keep going!

Enjoy Your Writer’s Life

If only we could go to a Greek island for a month or two and focus on our writing! Sigh…we all have those writing retreat fantasies. The truth is, our writing life needs to be juggled along with our other obligations.

It’s not easy to make time to write and feel like we have the rest of our lives handled. In this section of the Original Impulse Library, you’ll find the resources I share with my clients again and again. They’re not your ordinary ‘time management for writers’ advice.

  • Boundaries for Creatives – Part 1
  • Boundaries for Creatives – Part 2
  • Let the Body Lead

Writing Is Soul Work

If writing and creating were simply a matter of time and project management, everyone would have their books written by now. As a writer’s coach since 1999, I’ve hosted hundreds of coaching calls with clients.

While everyone is different, there’s one thing I know that unites all of my clients: writing is soul work. Your mind, your body, your emotions and the deep wisdom that drives you to write despite all obstacles – all parts of you need to be on board.

These articles tackle the common challenges that arise when we sit down to write. (Oh, and I know, the minute you sit down to write, you’ll need to pop up and go do some dishes. Please don’t. The world needs your words.)

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."
