Unfortunately, most creative writing programs, courses, and communities ONLY focus on craft without addressing the mindset work needed to build and sustain a thriving career in the arts.
Mindset matters. Strategies only work when they make sense for who you are and your unique lifestyle. Our Forever Writers Club community empowers creatives to break free from self-doubt and limiting beliefs by integrating mindfulness, mindset work, and self-discovery. We cultivate a proactive mindset, helping writers form unique insights that change how they approach their craft and make decisions about their creative careers. With renewed energy and purpose, our members produce work that is more impactful and deeply fulfilling.
Once you are in the club, you’ll work through a new member checklist which will show you the best place to get started!
Join our group sessions with Chelene for an hour of collaborative problem-solving and support. These sessions provide a safe space for members to present their challenges and work through them with the guidance of Chelene and the support of fellow members.
"In a world that constantly rushes us, the pressure to create on demand often results in inauthentic work. I choose to take the time to explore and understand myself and my current desires for my projects. Although I work with all kinds of creatives through my Thrive Coaching Program, I founded the Forever Writers Club to help writers specifically gain a deep understanding of their identities and value their unique voices. By doing so, they can make strategic, creative career decisions rooted in self-awareness and authenticity."— Chelene Knight
Together, we’ll dive into the power of saying "no" with intention and love, a crucial skill for creatives who want to protect their energy and focus on what truly matters. Each season, our work together will evolve, with sessions tailored to reflect the unique energy of the time, ensuring we’re always in tune with the natural cycles that influence our creativity. We'll be checking in on each other, troubleshooting together, and making sure you're supported throughout the process. We’ll explore how to transform a simple “no” into a decision-making tool that aligns with your values, priorities, and creative goals. Learn how to navigate opportunities with grace, set boundaries that empower you, and embrace the art of saying “yes” with conditions. Discover how this approach can not only preserve your energy but also enhance your creative output.

Featuring a foreword by Ivan Coyote.
I'm thrilled to share a new initiative for the Forever Writers Club that focuses on building a strong sense of community and connection among members. I'll be facilitating introductions between individuals to help foster meaningful relationships outside the club, enhancing our creative journey. The more you engage and contribute, the better I’ll understand your goals and the value you place on your creative practice. This insight will allow me to connect you with the right individuals, helping you expand your creative community beyond the club.
"The club has helped me realize a dream to live as a writer. I’m now writing almost everyday or thinking about writing or the next project. I’m exploring poetry, fiction, and embodiment. The club modules, events, and community keep me engaged and curious. I particularly enjoy the prompts and mindset mondays. These collaborators awaken something in me so I often come to the page with anticipation of what might just come up and out. I see the world as a writer now and it’s just lovely to be here." - Danielle Jernigan
