Hey Reader,

I have a confession: I fell off track with these Write Your Friggin' Book Already® emails.

My last email to you was July 1st, and here we are on July 22nd.

At first, I felt shame about that, wondering if I should just ignore this break, rather than bring attention to it. But shame grows in the dark, so here I am speaking it to light.

Life happened – client work got intense, my personal life had some fun but time consuming additions to it, I relaunched my Queerie Bradshaw blog, and honestly, I got a little overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything.

Sound familiar Reader?

This is exactly why I wrote about the 3 things you need to finish a book. Because even someone who teaches people how to write books can get derailed without the right support system.

But here’s the thing about falling off track: you can always get back on.

And speaking of getting back on track, I have some exciting news that happened while I took my little email break:

7 Subsidized Spots in WYFBA Just Opened Up!

One of my VIP clients enabled me to offer 7 spots in WYFBA at 20% off the regular price.

These aren’t need-based scholarships, they’re “let’s make this more accessible” subsidized spots for anyone who wants to join our fall cohort but could use a little financial breathing room.

Here’s how it works:

• 20% off the full program ($3,600 instead of $4,500 – saving you $900!) with code "BENEFACTOR"
• Same payment plan options available
• Full access to everything - community, coaching, courses
• Available until they’re gone or August 22nd, whichever comes first

If you wanted to write your book with us but couldn't quite afford it, this is a great way to get it at a lower price. Grab one of the 7 spots before they're gone.

Why I’m Sharing My “Falling Off Track” Story

In my blog post about the 3 things you need to finish a book, I talk about how most people don’t finish their books because they try to do it alone.

Just like I tried – and failed – to write all of these emails by myself.

When I got off track on marketing WYFBA, I used the same 3 things I use when I get off track in the program itself.

The three things you need to actually finish any big task is:

1. A solid WHY (your deeper purpose)
2. A proven plan (not something you make up)
3. An accountability team (the most important one)

I had all three for my book writing, but I didn’t have them for my email marketing. So when life got busy, the emails stopped.

Your book doesn’t have to suffer the same fate.

That’s exactly why WYFBA exists: to give you the community and accountability that keeps you going even when life gets messy.

The magic isn’t in being perfect. The magic is in having kind, supportive, understanding people who help you get back on track when you lose sight of your goals.

Ready to join a community that won’t let you fall off track with your book?

Join WYFBA today – and be one of the 7 people to get 20% off using code "benefactor".

We start our fall cohort on August 30th, and doors close August 22nd. That gives you about 4 weeks to decide - no rush, no pressure, just time to think it through.

Not sure you're ready yet to write a book? Read the full post about the 3 things you need to finish a book here, it might just be the perspective shift you need.

Falling off track doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for this. It just means you’re human.

And humans write the best books.

And in the age of AI and book bans, being an imperfect human writing books for imperfect humans is a radical act.

So come join us and Write Your Friggin' Book Already®.​

Because the world needs your story now more than ever.™

Lauren
