The Writer’s Workshop
For memoir writers who are ready to take themselves seriously and start writing with clarity, creativity, and conviction
The Writer’s Workshop is three live workshops for memoir writers who think they have writer’s block, but are actually stuck in a rewrite loop.
The workshops will run live on June 22, 23, and 25, at 10:00 a.m. PDT.
These are 60- to 90-minute workshops, with lifetime access to replays.
Workbook included for easy integration.
Investment for all three workshops is $77.
Writer, you do not need more discipline. (You’re actually really good at showing up to the page.)
You also do not need another saved post, another podcast episode, or another late-night spiral where you convince yourself you’ll figure it out tomorrow. (We both know that you’re excellent at collecting information.)
You need to understand why your writing feels so hard right now.
If you have been telling yourself you have writer’s block, I’m going to call you out. Writer’s block is not your problem. Most of the memoir writers I know are blocked for deeper reasons than knowing what to actually write.
You don’t trust yourself to say it well.
You don’t trust yourself to shape the story.
You don’t trust yourself to actually be a real writer.
So you stall. This shows up as overconsumption, overthinking, rewriting the same chapters, all in the name of waiting to feel more ready, more confident, more legitimate.
In the meantime, the writing starts to feel heavier and heavier.
I created The Writer’s Workshop to break that cycle.
The Writer’s Workshop is a live three-part workshop series for memoir writers who are tired of feeling stuck and circling the same fears, and ready to come back to the page with real momentum.
You will not leave this week with more noise.
You will leave seeing yourself differently as a writer, and that changes everything about how you write.
Why this work matters
I understand the creative cycle deeply. For years, I circled my own writing, doubting whether I had the ability to be successful. I’d start SubStack posts and let them languish in the drafts folder. I’d tell myself that I'd invest in my writing once the rest of my life settled down more. The real reason I kept stalling, though, had nothing to do with timing. I didn't believe I was allowed to take my writing seriously until I had proved something first. The Writer's Workshop exists because I know exactly what it costs to keep your writing waiting. This is what I needed and couldn’t find. So I built it.
So many writers come to me thinking they need editing support to make sense of their draft. And yes, editing matters. But if you are still questioning whether you get to be a writer at all, no amount of external feedback will fully solve that.
You have to trust yourself enough to show up differently on the page. That is why this work comes first. When you take yourself seriously as a memoir writer, your writing changes. You stop approaching the page like someone asking for permission, hiding behind overconsumption, and letting fear dress itself up as procrastination.
Instead, you start writing with more intention, make clearer decisions, and sound more like yourself on the page. This is when your writing becomes magnetic, and it all starts with the work inside of The Writer’s Workshop.
Get ready for the reframe:
Writer’s block is the symptom, not the problem
The cost of writer’s block is so much more than just an unfinished memoir draft.
You sit down to write and immediately feel the pressure.
You look at your pages and feel overwhelmed instead of excited
You think the answer is to push harder, be more disciplined, or find better advice.
Eventually you burn out, never finishing and never publishing.
When you can’t take yourself seriously as a writer (the real cause of writer’s block), that insecurity translates directly onto the page.
Your draft feels more chaotic.
Your decisions feel foggier.
Your inner dialogue gets meaner.
The diagnosis behind your writer’s block looks more like this:
You don’t trust yourself to write what you want to write
You’re still waiting for someone to give you permission
You need someone else to take you seriously first
The Writer’s Workshop is designed to interrupt that pattern at the root. Inside The Writer’s Workshop, we will work on the deeper causes underneath the block, so your writing can start moving again.
What happens inside of The Writer’s Workshop
Workshop 1: The Permission Slip
This is where we start: going straight to the heart of writer identity.
If part of you is still waiting to be chosen, validated, or officially welcomed into the room, this workshop will show you how much that mindset is costing you on and off the page. You will walk away understanding why taking yourself seriously is not extra, it is foundational.

Workshop 2: Consuming as a Creative
What you consume shapes how you create. If your creative life has quietly turned into scrolling, comparing, researching instead of writing, saving posts you’ll never go back to, and second-guessing every sentence before it’s even finished, this workshop will help you see what those habits are doing to your writing energy.
We will look at how your inputs are affecting your confidence, your focus, and your ability to hear your own voice clearly and how to curate your consumption to amplify your writing, not dilute it.

Workshop 3: Crafting Your Custom Writing Practice
You need a writing routine that actually works for your real life and your real creative rhythm, not just one that looks good on paper. In this final workshop, you will build a writing practice you can return to, one that supports consistency without draining the life out of your work. This is where writing starts to feel fun and creative again.June 25
A deeper understanding of why writing has felt so hard lately
A stronger sense of yourself as a memoir writer
More trust in your voice and your creative process
A clearer relationship to what you consume and how it affects your writing
A writing rhythm that feels natural, not forced
More momentum, more intention, and more excitement when you sit down to write
You will complete this workshop series with:
You are somewhere in the drafting process and writing has started to feel heavier than it used to.
You keep telling yourself you just need more discipline, but that answer is not actually helping.
You have been stuck in the Rewrite Loop, rewriting, doubting, circling, and avoiding.
You want your writing to feel creative again, not like a chore you are constantly failing at.
You know there is something real in your memoir, and you are ready to stop treating it like a secret.
You show up to your writing as a carefully edited yourself, and you’re exhausted by it.
The Writer’s Workshop is for you if:
You are not lazy, behind, or unqualified. The shift required to unlock your creative momentum has everything to do with how you see yourself as a writer right now, not what you are or aren’t doing.
What writers are already saying
“It’s not writer’s block. It’s that we don’t take the first step. I finally sat down this morning and the time has flown by. I got so much done in a short amount of time. Always amazes me!”
—Mel, author of Walking Through Addiction, publishing October 2026“Charlotte’s mindset work is especially helpful because she validated me as a writer with a story to tell. Now I can sit down to write with much more intention and much less insecurity.”
—Amy, author of a fashion memoir“Just talking about my project openly helps it feel more real. It’s not just my secret, but something cohesive and big.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This workshop series is for memoir writers who feel stuck, scattered, inconsistent, or convinced they have writer’s block. You do not need to have a finished manuscript to benefit from The Writer’s Workshop. You just need to be in the work and ready to shift how you are showing up for it.
-
Yes! If you are writing memoir and want to build a healthier, clearer, more grounded relationship to your writing from the start, you are welcome here. This will also deeply support writers who already have pages and feel tangled in the Rewrite Loop.
-
Yes. You will get lifetime replay access, so if you cannot attend live or want to revisit the workshops later, you can watch and rewatch on your own time.
-
No. This is not a manuscript critique or editing container. The Writer’s Workshop is designed to help you understand the deeper reason writing feels blocked, shift how you see yourself as a writer, and help you return to the page with more clarity and momentum.
-
That is exactly why this workshop exists. A lot of committed writers assume discipline is the missing piece. Often, the deeper issue is that they do not yet trust themselves fully on the page. Once that starts to shift, writing gets lighter and more available again.
How you think directly impacts what you write!
-
The Writer’s Workshop kicks off soon, on June 22.
You are tired of circling the same problem, and the longer you keep calling this writer’s block without understanding what’s underneath it, the longer you’ll stay stuck.Ask yourself, “How much longer do I want to feel this way about my writing?” And if the answer is “I’m done feeling this way,” then The Writer’s Workshop is your ticket to a new way of writing and thinking. You don’t have to be ready for this work; the workshop is what makes you ready for your writing.
