Tools That Help Me Write (and Might Help You Too)

You know I’ve been working on my own WIP and Book Marketing Challenges this year, and since we’re all in this together, I thought I’d share a few tools you might find useful in your own writing endeavors. These resources can help you move from idea to done with more clarity and a lot less overwhelm.

🧰 1. The Writer’s Toolkit 2025

Feeling just a little overwhelmed by all the things that come with being a writer today: drafting, editing, publishing, promoting, and social media?

✨ 2. Oracle Cards for Writers: Unlock Your Story Magic

Being an author means conjuring ideas from the unseen, shaping stories from flickers of imagination. Writing is already a mysterious process, so why not embrace that mystery by tapping into your subconscious?

That’s exactly what Oracle Cards for Writers: Unlock Your Story Magic and Overcome Blocks to Success helps you do.

This self-paced online course from my friend Stacy Juba, fiction author and founder of Shortcuts for Writers, invites you to explore 9 richly illustrated lessons filled with journaling prompts, oracle and tarot card spreads for writers, and creative exercises to help you rediscover your flow.

It’s perfect for writers who want to:

  • Create characters that feel real and memorable
  • Add emotional depth and symbolism to their stories
  • Overcome writer’s block and self-doubt
  • Infuse their stories with intuitive insight and meaning

You’ll also receive three exclusive bonuses, including an 18-page eBook on tarot, a symbolism cheat sheet, and a journaling workshop replay ($17 value).

🕒 3. 40 Days to a Finished Book by Leonie Dawson

You know you’ve got a book to write. 

The problem? Writing a book can feel like an impossible task. Too big to start, too hard to keep up with, and too easy to abandon halfway through.

That’s why I love 40 Days to a Finished Book, an online course by creative powerhouse Leonie Dawson. It’s all about guidance, accountability, and fun, with a daily email that includes a writing tip and a request for your word count.

It’s like having an encouraging (and slightly cheeky) writing buddy cheering you on every single day.

If you need structure, support, and momentum to finally finish your book, this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for:

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re building your confidence, finding your voice, or simply trying to make writing a consistent habit, these tools offer structure, support, and a little bit of magic along the way.

Here’s to writing it, finishing it, and sharing it with the world.

40 Days to a Finished Book by Leonie Dawson

About a month ago, I signed up for the online course 40 Days to a Finished Book by Leonie Dawson. I was determined to get the next book in the Woman’s Survival Guide to Mexico series. As of today, I have finished writing 28 chapters. YEAH ME! I have about 20 more to write, give or take a dozen or so, but I feel like I can see the book coming together. 

So Leonie Dawson aims to keep your focus on the writing aspect of book production. She does this with daily inspiration and accountability. Periodically she offers group coaching calls for further motivation when the going gets tough. In all, this particular course has 123 lessons. Most can be done in less than 5 minutes, so it is far from overwhelming.

Honestly, I haven’t been able to complete my writing goal every single day. And that’s ok. I know that if I miss one day, I can start fresh again the following morning. The accountability aspect though means I’ve only missed 2 out of the 21 days I’ve completed towards the 40-day challenge so far. YEAH ME!

Normally this course is $199, but I got it as part of The Writer’s Toolkit from Ultimate Bundles. So for just $97, I have access to Leonie’s quirky motivation PLUS 38 more resources worth over $5,000. What a bargain!

If you have any inclination to get your book finished this year, then don’t delay in getting The Writer’s Toolkit and sign up for 40 Days to a Finished Book by Leonie Dawson. The bundle is only available until June 11. The only way you’ll be able to get Leonie’s course after that is by paying more than twice what you pay for the entire bundle. It’s a no-brainer here! Get your complete toolkit before it’s too late!
