ABOUT
Hey, I'm Char!
I'm the owner of The Plottery and a writer, but before I was anything, I was just as lost as you might be right now: writer's block, impostor syndrome, perfectionism, fear of failure... Couldn't finish literally anything I started. Like you, I thought the problem was either that my story outline was horrible, or that I couldn't stick to a routine.

I fixed the outline part quite easily (lots of research and a Creative Writing Master's Degree later), and now call this the 📒 STRUCTURE 📒 part of my Soft Plotting method. But no amount of story structure or routine would fix my clients' mindset issues and vastly different approaches to writing. I worked with over 50 writers 1-1 and learned the value of 🌳 NURTURE. 🌳 This is the second leg of my Soft Plotting approach.

I experimented on myself, too, and finished my debut novel without routine or force in 1 year, while running a full-time business and attending a full-time MA course. It didn't have a thing to do with what most writing advice tells you. It was very simple.

I taught myself to adore writing as wildly and innocently as when I was a child.

If you want me to teach you how to do the same, I'd love to have you in 💻 ✏️ My 3-course Bundle: https://www.the-plottery.com/courses
