Overcome Writer's Resistance Bootcamp
What if you could FINALLY write your book without procrastination and perfectionism stopping you?
A Live 5-Day Bootcamp

It's time to claim your writer’s magic. 🪄
June 22 - 25th
12 PM EDT (New York)
Live via Zoom with Recordings Available
I've been seen on...
Tell me..
You want to be a writer. Only problem is... you're facing massive resistance.
You deal with perfectionism & procrastination
You write the first 10 pages, 20 pages, 50 pages of your manuscript…and then rewrite them. Over and over.
Your inner critic is LOUD. It berates you while you write.
You put everything else before your writing. Errands, chores, Netflix, your friends and family. Time to write? Let's vacuum! Clean out the car! Go to the gym! Call your mom! 😂
"I'm an imposter /I'm just not good enough / I'm no [insert famous author here]."
Self-doubt rears its ugly head when you write. Are you good enough? Is your writing good enough?
You're trapped in the comparison game. You see the external success of other writers & wonder if you will ever join the successful writers club.
I'm here to tell you that yes, you can! You could be the president of the club 😌
"Writing just feels too hard! Maybe I'm not cut out for this."
You sit down to write and immediately want to run from your computer. Aren't you supposed to love writing? Maybe you're not meant to be a writer! Maybe you misunderstood your calling!
Maybe you're LAZY! Maybe you're unmotivated 😭 If you want to be a writer, why aren't you writing?
You're not lazy. You're not unmotivated.
And no, you didn't misunderstand your calling. You know deep down you're a writer. Your dream reader is waiting for you! 🥺
You're ready to stop procrastinating. You're ready to make this year THE year that you finish your manuscript.
Writing is harder than watching the next season of Shadow and Bone, so you turn on Netflix instead of writing.
And while you're watching, you're thinking "If I would just write my own book, then maybe my book could be the next Netflix sensation 😭"
It's a vicious cycle.
It seems like no matter what you do, you can't get "over" your resistance. So you go do something "productive."
Then while you listen to a podcast, or read a book, you think "I should be making my OWN art right now..."
Hi, I'm Monica.
If you're new here, hi! I'm so glad you're here. I'm a Writing Coach & specialize in helping writers overcome procrastination and perfectionism.
My clients have gone from avoiding writing for YEARS to finally finishing their books. Showing up, feeling joy and peace, and loving writing again.
One client had been stuck in resistance mode for years. Then she started working with me, and ended up writing 200,000 words in a year.
Another client had written 3,000 words in her manuscript over 3 years. After working with me, she's written over 100k in 4 months.
In 2021, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Suddenly everything made sense. I have embraced how different I was, and from that I've become a better writer and a better coach. My spiritual, witchy, ADHD brain was never meant to fit into a box 🥰 So I created my OWN magical box.
You see, I've struggled massively with writer's resistance for years. It was only made worse in college. I dealt with overwhelming perfectionism which just made me procrastinate. But with help from others and with a writing coach, I was finally able to write again. I was able to finish novels. I was able to reclaim my power as a writer.
In 2021, I decided to shift gears and use my knowledge to help writers like you. I approach my coaching from a place of deep understanding and empathy. And I'd love to share what I've learned to help you love writing again.
You already know the truth, boo... you're never going to claim your writer magic if you don't make a change.
Does any of this sound like you?
Avoidance
You sit down at your desk and then decide that your cat's litterbox needs to be cleaned right now.
Cleaning
You schedule time to write and then choose to deep clean your bathroom instead. 🤦♀️
Never taking action
You keep telling yourself that the universe will help you write your book, but you don't actually sit down to write.
Brain freaks out
What about the times that you ACTUALLY sit down to write, and your brain freaks out and you run away to do something easier? 😬
If you're being honest with yourself, you know you need to stop procrastinating and telling yourself "I'll write tomorrow." You know you're meant to do this. You don't want to endlessly delay your dream.
It feels like a neverending cycle & you're ready to interrupt it.
You see your writer or author friends finishing books. They post about how they write 10k words on their Instagram stories.
They're getting agents, getting BOOK DEALS and you wonder, I'm ready for that to be me. I'm ready to write.
But, you're doubting yourself at the page. Even if you've started writing a book, you still struggle to keep going. You hit a wall and get stuck. You beat yourself up. You have massive guilt over not doing this thing you're supposed to love to do.... writing.
It's okay to feel that way. You're not alone. But you're excited to take charge and actually make this happen.
In order to make changes, it's time to do these things:
Get to the root of your resistance, learn why it's totally normal (brain science 🧠), and then start writing your book with the tools you learn from the bootcamp.
Living up to your own potential requires this:
Facing your resistance, acknowledging it, and using brain science to make writing feel easier.
Most writer's block programs just give you "quick fixes." They sell you hacks. My program goes beyond that.
I look at the WHY behind your writer's resistance, the brain science behind it, and help you retrain your brain.
Let's be truthful: you don't need another class on how to write a book.
You need one that gets you to actually write. ✍️
Introducing: The Overcoming Writer's Resistance Bootcamp
A 5-day bootcamp to help you overcome your writer's resistance and write your book
June 22 @ 9 - 10 AM Pacific Daylight Time
(12 PM EDT, 6 PM CET)
Day 1: Where Resistance Comes From
We know we have writer's resistance. This day we'll learn about the SOURCE of writer resistance. We'll discuss why writer's resistance is so universal & how our production-obsessed society hurts our writing life.
There's a reason you struggle to write. But this doesn't define you.
You'll take your power back. You're going to go from watching Netflix every night to being able to write. 💥
June 23 @ 9 - 10 AM Pacific Daylight Time
(12 PM EDT, 6PM CET)
Day 2: The Science of Resistance
Did you know that writer's resistance comes from brain science? 🧠On day 2, we'll be going over the SCIENCE behind our resistance.
When we write, our fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses pop up. Our brain can't cope & we procrastinate.
We'll learn about brain science and how to overcome this natural psychological response so that when it does pop up, you know what to do. 😊
June 24 @ 9 - 10 AM Pacific Daylight Time
(12 PM EDT, 6 PM CET)
Day 3: How to Start Writing Now
This is where you'll be able to start taking action by making small changes. If you wait until the "perfect time" to write, you'll never do it. 😬
We're going to make sure you take action even before the time is perfect. You'll make the time perfect in its imperfections. 💁♀️
You'll walk away from this training ready to start taking action right where you are. Yes, you can finish your manuscripts and be a writer even if you're busy and working full time. You'll make little changes that add up to big transformations.
June 25 @ 9 - 10 AM Pacific Daylight Time
(12 PM EDT, 6PM CET)
Day 4: How to FINALLY Overcome Resistance
It's time to put everything together and finally overcome your personal resistance that is keeping you from writing your book. We will put some habits & actions in place that are going to serve you in your writing life and KEEP you writing.
On this day, I'll also invite you to find out how go deeper. 🤩
No more "waiting for the perfect time to write" and rewriting the first 50 pages of your manuscript. You're finishing your book.
Go from not writing to writing your book. Claiming your magic.
By the end of our time together, you'll understand your brain & be able to show up consistently to the page.
PLUS... There's BONUS DAYS. A Q&A day, a write together day, AND a panel of guest speakers.
Guest Speakers Jordan, Nadine, and Laila
Friday, June 28th at 9 AM Pacific Time
On Friday, we'll be having guest speakers coming to chat about how they overcame their resistance. More details to come, but it will be a great chat you won't want to miss.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I'm a newbie writer. Will this still work for me?
Yep! This program is created for all writers at all levels. Writers struggle with resistance, doubt, perfectionism, and procrastination at all times in their lives and careers.
I'm a seasoned writer. Is this for me?
Yes! This program is created for all writers at all levels. As mentioned above, writers at all levels experience resistance, doubt, procrastination, and perfectionism issues.
That said, I won't be discussing the publishing process a lot. This is about the creative process rather than what comes after.
I'm a plotter/panster/discovery writer/etc. Will this information really pertain to me?
Yesssss. For sure. The information shared in this bootcamp will serve you no matter what your process looks like. We're getting to the root of your writer's resistance, your procrastination/ perfectionistic tendencies, etc. It's applicable for all types of writers, regardless of process.
I don't write novels. Is this still a good fit?
I've had several people join the bootcamp who don't write novels! We've had people writing dissertations, poetry, screenplays, nonfiction, etc. That said, I won't be covering any copywriting or business-related writing, so keep that in mind.
Where is this bootcamp happening?
The bootcamp training days are on Zoom, but the rest is all going down on the Pop-Up Facebook group! You can tune in live on Zoom, or you can watch the replays. You have access to the replays for a year if you can't attend a live training.
What if I can't make it live?
Don't worry. Your ticket comes with access to all the recordings, so you can watch whenever is best for you. However, I'll be answering questions live, so I highly recommend that you show up and make time if you can.
When is your next bootcamp happening?
I do these about 2-3 times a year. I don't know exact dates, but you can always subscribe to my newsletter to get notified.
How do I know if this is right for me?
Great question! This is for you if:
- You're ready to finally finish your book (or several)
- You're excited about finally making writing a priority in your life.
- You're ready for a change.
- You like witchy stuff & spirituality (or overall don't hate it).
This is NOT for you if:
- You don't have the space to write your book (maybe you're getting a degree, or writing just isn't your main priority! Totally valid).
- This is not for you if you're triggered by cussing (I cuss and I don't apologize).
- If you're living within a victim mindset. I'm here to get you to write & encourage you to make changes in your life, no matter how small. If you're stuck in a victim mentality, this won't help you.
- If you're a woman who consistently hates on other women (queens fix each other's crowns 👑).
Did you make it to the end of the page? Wow!
If you've made it here, you must be interested. You might be about to register.
I want you to imagine writing your book and it becomes the next TikTok sensation. You write your book and someone comes up to you to gush over how your book changed their life.
Pull a tarot card and see how this feels. Close your eyes, take a breath, and feel in your body: is this the right decision for me? What feels aligned?
