"I appreciate how Joe has broken down the reluctance to write and the cure into clear, do-able steps. Also, I can’t believe how much tuning into a live writing session really works for me. Before this, I was stuck. Mired in worry about the pandemic, reluctant to add one more worry to my plate (I can’t write *this* story), and so unhappy with myself. In the m..." Read more

"Before Unchained writer I had trouble writing. Focusing was a chore. I knew I had a story, but just couldn't bring myself to sit down and write it. I started writing stories in 2001, I have 6 stories unfinished. It wasn't until 2 years ago that I made a promise to someone very dear to me, that I would finish the book. I struggled for a year and then I met..." Read more

"I have been a member of Unchained Writers since April 2020. My initial reason for joining was to be with other writers and develop a daily writing habit. I attend most sessions (except when my JOB interferes)and write one to two hours daily during UW sessions plus an hour or two of early morning writing. Daily writing quickly became a habit and showing up f..." Read more

"For most of my life I have written spasmodically. I have taken writing courses, purchased an extensive writing library and have notebooks and technology but, despite knowing better, I was not diligent. Since I joined Unchained Writer, I write more and write regularly. The community, the opportunity and the ancillary aspects surprise me, I did not think Un..." Read more

"I blew off the first few invitations I received for Unchained Writer despite the great experience I had with Joe's Scrivener training. I can make a writing schedule. I don't need to pay someone to do it for me. I was wrong. Unchained Writer has been one of the best gifts I've ever given to myself. Having scheduled writing times has given me more focus..."

In my first week alone, I've completed three projects and continued work on two others. I'm so happy I decided to take this leap and carve our space for myself."

It is so much easier knowing that I..." Read more

"I am very pleased and have talked to others about this course. The one thing I wanted was a way to hold myself accountable. For years when I began writing I wrote every day. I often wrote 3-5 hours after I got home from work. I wrote during breaks and lunch. Life became busier and the writing started to fall off. This course has put me back in the habit of w..."

"I love the advice Joseph gives us writers. It’s invaluable! Writing for an hour, no stopping, no interruptions, no editing and no going back has been a huge step for me and made an impact on my writing. I was nervous, committing to an hour but I loved every minute of getting lost in my story :)."

Yes, I was a former member and I thought I could do this myself. SO NOT TRUE! I needed the community of the Unchained Writers and I needed to understand my lack of motivati..." Read more
