📝 THE FOUNTAIN FLOW 📝
December 17, 2024
Dear Writer,
There's a particular kind of quiet ache that comes from carrying a book you haven't written yet. It lives in the background—when you're washing dishes, when you can't sleep, when someone asks what you're working on and you say, "I'm still figuring it out."
The distance between wanting to write a book and having written one isn't talent. It isn't time. It's the decision to stop circling and start building. And that decision is easier when you're not making it alone.
What 30 Days Made Possible ✨
Our Fountain 30 November Challenge recently ended. Thirty days of intentional practice—Clearings and Channels and community. Here's what writers discovered when they stopped waiting and started showing up:
"I came into [the Fountain 30] thinking I just needed accountability to write more. What I didn't expect was to discover patterns in my work I'd never noticed before. Now I understand it's not random. It's the thing my book is actually about."
—Melissa
"The daily Clearing was so good! I wrote more in November than I had in the previous six months combined."
—Jennifer
"What surprised me most wasn't the word count (though I hit 15,000 words, which felt impossible before). It was learning to trust myself."
—Chad
Now Imagine What 100 Days Could Do 🌊
If 30 days created these kinds of breakthroughs—15,000 words, deep trust in creative instincts—imagine what's possible when you commit to 100 days, plus 28 hours of live instruction, a hardcore craft curriculum, and more. This cohort is filling up fast, and we could not be more excited about this group of writers!

What Past Intensive Writers Say 💫
"I ended the summer with 50k words of my draft and a better understanding of my story. 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."
—Rachel
"I am forever changed by this intensive. 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."
—Tiffany
A Quick Prompt Before You Go 📝
Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine it's April 20th, 2026. You're holding a complete draft of your book—not perfect, but done. The story that's been living in your head now exists on the page.
Now write for five minutes: What does that feel like in your body? What did you have to trust to get there? What did you have to release?
Last Fountain Class of the Year! 🗓️
The Returning Image: How Patterns Find Us Friday, December 19th at 10am PT (FREE)
Before we close out 2024, join us for one more gathering. Every writer has images, objects, and motifs that recur across their work—often before we consciously choose them. These aren't accidents. They're the raw material of the work only you can make.
Through two guided writing exercises, you'll take inventory of the images that keep finding you and discover what they might be collectively asking you to explore.
