You did not mean to live the life unwritten.
It's time to write your book, the one that illuminates the path of the here, now and forever.
Whether your enduring path is fiction,
memoir or trade nonfiction,
I can lead you to the truest sentence you know.
Hi, I'm Carolyn Flynn,
and I'm the story catalyst.
Story is my abiding love. Nothing makes me braver, more buoyant and more authentically myself than to be in pursuit of story.
If you have found this retreat workbook, you must also yearn to write a book that is bold, illuminating and true.
You want to write a book that is worthy of a greater conversation.
Maybe you know some parts of your story, but not all. Maybe you seek an enduring path to publication, but the ever-shifting terrain of the book business is disorienting.
You're daunted by discovering the message and delivering that book.
I do the courage walk with authors, and together, we are targeted and joyful, attuning to the passion, vision and purpose of your book.
I developed this retreat workbook for my in-person retreats, which are held at soul-stirring settings such as Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way or Utah's Zion National Park. But soon I discovered that I was working with my author clients one-on-one through the year, going deeper into the exercises here. And then I discovered that this workbook can serve as your own do-it-yourself retreat or an accompaniment to my virtual online retreats.
If you're wondering just how, exactly, to get started...if you're wondering what it is that you don't know yet...this workbook will save you time and equip you with solid tips in writing craft-the kind that hang most writers up, the kind that most writers with complete books say they wish they had known before they began.
You may also use this workbook to shore you up along the way, whether you're at the beginning or whether you're shoring up revisions on the next draft.
This retreat workbook will guide you on the path. Let's begin.
