📝 THE FOUNTAIN FLOW 📝
October 17, 2025
Dear Writer,
You know that movie that plays in your head when you're writing? The one where you can see every gesture, hear every word, feel the exact quality of light in each scene?
We've been thinking about this a lot lately—how writers are essentially directors of invisible films, constantly translating what we see in our mind's eye onto the page. Sometimes the translation feels effortless. Other times, we lose the thread between what we envision and what appears in words.
Today, we're excited to share something that bridges that gap in a way we've never experienced before. Plus, updates on our Winter Intensive (the one that transforms dreamers into drafters), and a timely October class about sealing up those energy leaks that haunt your creative practice.
Here's what's flowing through The Fountain this week...
✨ NEW: CINEMATIC CLEARINGS
See Your Story on the Big Screen of Your Mind
We're thrilled to introduce two new Clearings that help you experience your narrative as the movie it already is in your mind. These aren't our usual binaural meditations—they're set to dynamic, cinematic soundscapes that shift and build with your story's emotional arc. We've made this music in house for this specific purpose: think film score meets guided visualization.
The Cinema of Your Story
Settle into your private theater where warm light illuminates everything. This meditation guides you through watching your story unfold—all its human messiness, beauty, and meaning. Set to a hopeful, nostalgic soundtrack, it's perfect for character-driven narratives where the internal journey matters as much as what happens. Literary fiction, memoir, personal essays—any story where the heart is the plot.
The Shadow Cinema
Same private theater, different film. This one's for writers working in darkness—psychological suspense, noir, mystery, true crime. Against a moody soundtrack, you'll witness your story's shadows and tensions, those unspoken truths that only emerge in darkness. Sometimes the most powerful stories need shadow to reveal their depth.
Both guide you from opening scene to final frame. The only difference? One works in light, the other in shadow. Choose based on the story living in your head today.
Now available in your Fountain Library for all members.

"Having Chelsea & Kim in my corner, plus a cohort who knew my characters by name, made all the difference. I never felt alone in the process."

🎯 THIS WEEK'S PRACTICE
As you consider the Winter Intensive, ask yourself:
What would change if this spring you were holding your completed first draft?
Sit with that vision. Feel it in your body. Notice what shifts when you imagine yourself as someone who has already written their book.
The path from dreaming to doing is simply saying yes.
With love and creative solidarity,
Chelsea & Kim
P.S. The Winter Intensive early bird pricing ends December 2nd. If you've been waiting for a sign, this is it.
