Dear Friend,


I'm a pantser by nature. I love the flexibility of following my gut.

But I discovered that I couldn't write a novel without some type of roadmap.

So I created the Accordion method that I teach in my Plan Your Novel course to have both a framework and the freedom to play within that framework.

I'm offering many of those exercises to you in our Plan Your Novel Party this Saturday, October 29, 10am to 6pm.

This is a DIY free and virtual event that you can do in the comfort of your own home or cafe.

Also, the exercises are flexible enough to be used by pantsers and plotters. 

Not writing a novel? You can still use these exercises for brainstorming short stories and novellas, too.

Sign up here. It's gonna be fun! And please tell your friends!








After you plan it, it's time to write it...
