🎙 Episode 7 — Your Author Pathway

A Future-Vision Activation to End the Writing Year With Clarity and Purpose

As the writing year comes to a close, many writers find themselves carrying quiet guilt, pressure, or disappointment — unfinished drafts, goals that didn’t unfold as planned, or the feeling that they should have done more.

In this episode of Write the Darn Book, we pause — not to judge or assess — but to gently release what no longer belongs with you, and consciously step forward into the year ahead with clarity, courage, and purpose.

This episode is a guided future-vision activation, designed to help you close the year cleanly, shift your internal state, and reconnect with the version of you who stays on the path — even when writing feels challenging.

Rather than focusing on productivity or planning, this episode works at the level of identity and embodiment, helping your mind and nervous system align with the writer you are becoming.

You’ll be guided through:

  • A gentle release of emotional and creative baggage from the past year
  • A clear state-change moment to shift from reflection into readiness
  • A future-focused visualisation to embody your next-level author self
  • A courage anchor to help you stay connected to your writing path when resistance shows up
  • This episode is ideal to listen to as the year ends — or anytime you feel called to reconnect with your purpose, your story, and your trust in yourself as a writer.

     

    ✨ In this episode, you’ll explore:

    • Why unfinished writing goals don’t mean you’ve failed
    • How to release pressure and expectations that no longer serve you
    • What it means to embody your future author self
    • How to anchor courage and clarity as you step into a new writing year
    • A grounded way to move forward with one meaningful writing focus
    •  

      🧘‍♀️ Best listened to:

      In a quiet space where you can slow down and receive the guided visualisation — though you’re welcome to return to this episode anytime you need to realign with your writing path.

       

      🔜 Coming up next:

      In the next episode, we shift from vision into action — exploring why starting your book often feels harder than it should, and how to begin writing in a way that actually works for you, by understanding your writing personality and the way your brain is wired for creativity.
