Finish that book:
Supercharge your writing practice from the inside out
A hands-on, 90-minute workshop on "Habits of Mind Masterclass: Finish that Book" with book coach, editor, and writer Dr. Bailey Lang.
“Writing a book is work, but it doesn’t have to suck—it can be fun!”
When you change your thinking, you change your writing.
Like magic!
Creation is an act of magic, but we’ve also got to make sure the practical parts are working too.
Otherwise your writing and your writing process aren’t going to light you up.
Writing a book doesn’t happen in a day.
It happens over time through your writing practice—your habits, routines, and rituals.
Experienced writers also know that the habits that worked for one book may not work in the next one.
Getting intentional about your writing practice and mindset practice means creating a powerful multitool for anytime you're stuck in a creative rut with your book.
When you cultivate these 8 essential habits of mind, you’ll have a powerful toolkit that you can turn to again and again to help you to finish, whether it’s your first draft or your final pass.
You need intentional mental tools you can use anytime you’re feeling stuck in your big, beautiful, messy novel!
Benefits show up quickly when you practice them intentionally.
“OMG, I love these! I knew these ideas but I’d never put any time and attention into them or thought about implementing them proactively. Thanks, Bailey! This helps me get to my writing so much more easily.”
Happy Writer

Habits of Mind: Finish That Book
Habits of Mind: Finish That Book
Here’s what you’ll get in this hands-on, 90-minute "Habits of Mind Masterclass: Finish that Book" with book coach, editor, and writer, Dr. Bailey Lang.
Learn how to cultivate 8 essential habits of mind that contribute to a successful writing practice so that you can finally finish that book, whether you’re struggling to finish your first draft or preparing to tackle the final revision.
A habit of mind is a way of approaching learning, honing, and growing your writing practice and skills.
The habits of mind are how you think like a writer.
In their work, Bailey draws on real-life historical examples and cutting-edge research about habits of mind to help writers build sustainable, enjoyable writing practices that take a manuscript from a sparkly, shy idea to a polished, proud gem of a book.
Question for you!
Does it feel like your writing practice is stuck in a rut?
Um, yes! Please help!
What if building a successful writing practice wasn’t just about forcing yourself to sit down and write?
What if you could develop strong and supportive internal habits that build a right-sized writing practice to unlock your unique stories and finish your book?
Rather than battling with writer’s block and procrastination…you can learn to Think Like A Writer!
There’s no one size fits all writing practice.
Instead, Bailey will help you develop a writing practice that truly works for you and fits into your life.
Not a cookie cutter recipe, y’all!
But a flexible practice that changes as you change.
Let’s play!
Bailey will help you write like you! And there’s no one else like you!
