Five Days of Focus

Five Days of Focus is exactly what it sounds like: five full days of supported, focused writing, from the comfort of your own home.

It’s a virtual writing retreat or intensive, writing alongside other writers as you move your book or script toward done.

Here’s what you’ll love about Five Days of Focus:

You’ll focus deeply on your main writing project for five full days.

As writers, there’s usually one main book or script holding our attention, and it’s often the hardest one to get to.

Resistance, perfectionism, performance issues, fear, and self-doubt get in the way. These make us struggle with giving the work the dedicated time and space it needs to come to fruition.

Sometimes we have to make the time and space.

With Five Days of Focus, you’ll dedicate yourself to a significant burst of progress with the support of other writers and a coach. You’ll strengthen your commitment to writing and give yourself permission to pursue your calling as a writer.

You’ll clear the decks and plan your writing before we begin.

Five Days of Focus is designed to help you make time and space to write without distractions.

Before our five days begin, I’ll send you a Clear the Decks preparation checklist to help clear distractions and obstacles so you can make the most of your writing time. You’ll also plan ahead for food and beverages to help yourself stay focused on writing.

I’ll also send you a Writing Plan worksheet so you can get clear about exactly what you’ll work on and be able to get right to work.

These tools will help you make sure you have a clear goal and writing plan, beverages, meals, and snacks at the ready, and a week free from distractions so you can focus, focus, focus.

You’ll plan for what comes after our five days together.

Writers can struggle at the end of a writing retreat to continue writing once you’re home or back into “regular life” when the structure is lacking.

As we wrap up our five days together, we’ll put our focus on next steps so we know exactly what we’ll be working on the next time we sit down at our desks to work. 

We’ll also celebrate our progress made during the week together.
