What Members Are Saying About The Fountain
September 16, 2025
Dear Writer,
We had something else planned for today's newsletter—something about fall transitions and the neuroscience of seasonal creativity shifts (it was pretty good!). But this week we've been compiling messages from our members. Beautiful, honest messages about what's been happening in their creative lives since joining The Fountain.
And we thought: Why are we talking when they could be talking?
So today, we're stepping aside to share the real voices of real writers who took a chance on something different.
If you've been wondering whether The Fountain is right for you, let these writers tell you what it actually feels like to be a member of this vibrant community.
"The Fountain has really helped me understand where my thoughts are coming from and how to gently set them aside."
—Erica Gallion
"As a nonfiction writer I sometimes face looped, paranoid thoughts about how my book will be received. The Fountain has helped me better realize what environment feels best for my writing. It's powerful to have this intrinsic knowing that The Fountain reminds me of in every lesson."
"Now I'm writing from a place of deep self-trust in my voice and instincts that I don't think I've experienced since before I was published."
—Elise Bryant, author of five books, most recently The Game is Afoot
"I initially thought The Fountain would be too woo-woo for me... But as soon as I did that first sample clearing, I felt such an overwhelming peace that I knew I needed to commit. For the first time, I'm able to think without shame or self-doubt: Wow, this book is great, and I'm great for having written it."
"I started the Summer Intensive with paralyzing anxiety every time I sat down to write. Now, my daily writing practice feels like a cherished, non-negotiable part of my day."
—Alex Rasmussen
"The Clearings were nothing short of transformative. I had some of my biggest creative breakthroughs while listening! Trust the magic synths. The intensive felt like years of writing classes packed into 100 days."
"I ended the summer with 50k words of my draft and a better understanding of my story."
—Rachel Taff, author of Paper Cut
"This was truly a craft class and a spiritual path to creativity. The writing flowed more easily when I found the freedom to tap in, write what inspired me in that moment instead of feeling trapped into what 'should' go next. It's unlike any class I've ever taken."
"Over the course of 100 days, I realized I wasn't giving my characters or story the depth it deserved."
—Tiffany Dyba
"I have taken many writing workshops and this is far and away the best learning and curriculum I have ever received. Clearings have helped me get into a daily practice that I have found difficult to maintain in the past. Now it is part of my daily routine. I am forever changed by this intensive."
"I started out clueless and overwhelmed, and now I feel like I can understand how to bring the vision in my head into form on a page."
—Monica Graff
"The elements I found most helpful were the clearings and channels. I'm slow, which is something I'm just now understanding and honoring as how intelligence moves through me. If it came to you, then you were chosen to carry it—no one else can. I have inner support, knowledge, and wisdom."

Monica said it best: "If it came to you, then you were chosen to carry it—no one else can."
