Finish Your Novel in 6 Months or Less
Finally — someone who can teach you the exact step-by-step process for FINISHING a novel in 6 months or less
Stop second-guessing, feeling frustrated, and stalling out. Instead, learn practical steps for actually getting your words on the page in a way you can feel confident in!
Okay, Real Talk?
If writing a novel has started to feel harder than it should…
If you’ve started stories you loved but somehow lost momentum halfway through…
If you’re doing all the “right” things — outlining, studying craft, rewriting chapters — and still not finishing…
It’s not because you aren’t talented.
It’s because no one has ever shown you the actual process that makes stories work.
The one that keeps ideas flowing, keeps your pacing on track, and — most importantly — helps you write a story that hooks readers emotionally so they can’t put it down.
That’s exactly what I teach.
Finish emotionally powerful novels without sacrificing the magic of discovery writing.

When You Can’t Finish Your Novel
You start a story completely in love with it. The idea is exciting. The characters are talking to you. The opening chapters feel electric.
And then somewhere around chapter five or ten… the energy just disappears.
Suddenly you’re staring at the screen thinking:
What happens next?
Why does the middle feel boring?
Why does this suddenly feel impossible to finish?
You’ve probably tried every plotting method under the sun — beat sheets, three-act structure, Save the Cat, the Hero’s Journey. But trying to force your story into those boxes actually makes writing feel more mechanical and less magical, right?
So you rewrite the opening again. And again. And again.
And the book never gets finished.
When Your Writing Feels Flat (Even Though the Idea Is Good)
This one is painful, because you know the story should be emotional.
You can see the characters in your mind.
You can feel the stakes.
You know there’s something powerful inside the story trying to come out.
But when you write the scene… it lands flat.
The dialogue feels stiff.
The moment that should make readers cry barely moves the needle.
And you find yourself thinking, Why does this feel so much better in my head than on the page?
You start worrying readers won’t care about the characters.
That they won’t feel the journey.
And that is the last thing any storyteller wants.
When You’re Doing All the Right Things — But Still Not Getting Results
You’re not someone who dabbles in writing.
You’re serious about this.
You read craft books.
You watch writing videos.
You listen to podcasts and study plotting frameworks.
You’re doing everything you’re supposed to do.
And yet…
Your stories still stall out.
The middle collapses.
You second-guess every scene.
Your conscious mind starts overanalyzing every choice until the joy disappears.
At some point you start wondering if maybe the problem is you.
And I want to be very clear about something.
It’s not.
You’ve just never been taught how stories actually work at a psychological level.
Why Readers Read Fiction
Readers do not read fiction for cool fantastical worlds or plot twists.
Readers read fiction to feel BIG emotions in a SAFE SPACE.
Our world does not hold space for big emotions, does it? Yet human beings yearn to feel their emotions deeply, process them (which is a fancy-smancy way of saying "derive meaning from") and then release them.
And fiction has the unique ability to help them do that, but using someone else's story and emotions, so they can remain in a safe space throughout the experience.
When a story taps into real human emotion, readers don’t just read it.
They experience it.
And that’s when they stay up until two in the morning turning pages.
Pillar 1
Writing From the Subconscious Mind
Most writers try to write stories using their conscious mind.
They analyze every scene.
They try to “figure out” what should happen next.
But storytelling doesn’t actually come from the logical mind.
It comes from the subconscious imagination.
When you learn how to access that deeper creative space — through journaling, intuition, and letting your mind wander — the story begins to unfold naturally.
Ideas flow faster.
Writer’s block disappears.
And your story starts to feel alive again.
Pillar 2
Transformational Human Psychology
Here’s the thing.
Every powerful story mirrors the same fundamental process: human transformation.
A character starts the story believing something about themselves or the world.
Then life challenges that belief.
They struggle. They grow. They confront their fears.
And eventually they become someone new.
That psychological journey — what I call Transformational Human Psychology — is the true engine of story.
When you build your novel around that transformation, everything else falls into place, including plot, pacing, and emotion.
Pillar 3
Emotion-Driven Story Design
Instead of forcing your story into rigid plot templates, we design it around the emotional journey you want readers to feel — and then build structure that serves that emotion.
That’s how you protect the magic of your ideas while giving yourself a clear path to actually finish the novel.
Hi, I'm Liesel
I’m a USA Today bestselling author with roughly twenty novels published across multiple genres, and I’ve experienced almost every side of the publishing industry — both traditional and indie.
When I first started writing, I had the same question you probably do right now:
How do I know if my story is actually going to work?
I didn’t want writing a novel to feel like throwing darts in the dark and hoping something stuck.
I became slightly obsessed with story craft.
I read every writing book I could get my hands on. I studied psychology. I studied storytelling frameworks. And eventually I started noticing something fascinating.
The stories readers love all follow the same deeper pattern.
Not just plot points.
Human transformation. The INTERNAL arc.
Once I understood that — and combined it with subconscious creativity and emotional storytelling — everything clicked.
Finishing novels became dramatically easier.
And more importantly…
Readers started connecting with the stories in a much deeper way.
Now I teach other authors how to do the same thing.

What My Students are Saying
Kerry Simpson, Fantasy Writer
Ida Smith, Crime Fiction Writer
It’s Not About Plot. It's about writing an EMOTIONAL story that hooks readers — and lights YOU up!
Most writers already have great story ideas.
You have the premise.
You have the characters.
You probably even have scenes playing in your head already.
What’s missing isn’t plot.
It’s the emotional engine that turns those ideas into a story readers can’t stop talking about.
Imagine getting a story idea, expanding it into a moving narrative readers will eat up, and then simply writing it, start to finish.
No more wondering what happens next.
No more rewriting the same chapter twenty times.
No more saggy middles that kill your momentum.
No frustration. No second-guessing
Because you follow a clear, detailed, practical process.
You know how to tap into your subconscious creativity so ideas flow naturally.
You know how to structure a story around real human transformation so the pacing works.
And you know how to infuse emotion into every scene so readers feel the journey right along with your characters.
That’s when writing starts to feel magical again.
And that’s when finishing novels becomes something you can do again and again.
All you have to do to turn this vision into your reality is take the first step!
And I've made that first step simply with my free training, 10 Universal Plot Points to Craft Any Story, which will allow you to nail down your story's skeleton (major events — beginning, middle, and end) in under an hour!
