Prep-Tober: A Sacred Invitation to Begin Again
Greasing the wheels, shaking off the dust, and preparing for the words to come
🍂 THE TURNING OF SEASONS (AND STORIES)
There’s something special about October.
The air shifts. The light softens. The calendar fills with color and change.
And for writers? It often stirs something deeper.
A restlessness.
A pull back to the page.
A whisper that says, “It’s time to begin again.”
That whisper is Novel November.
That whisper is why Prep-Tober exists.
Because whether you’re starting your very first novel…
Or returning to a manuscript you’ve nearly given up on…
You deserve a gentle, structured, sacred space to prepare.
🛠️ PREP-TOBER: WHAT IT IS (AND WHAT IT ISN’T)
This isn’t about pressure.
It’s about posture.
Prep-Tober is your invitation to slow down before November begins—
To clear mental clutter, rebuild rhythm, and reconnect with your story before the sprint starts.
What you don’t need is a perfect plot, an airtight plan, or even to know exactly how the story ends.
You just need to say “yes” to starting again.
✍️ WHY I’M DOING THIS DIFFERENTLY THIS YEAR
In the past, I’ve treated November like a solo challenge. A challenge I have failed time and time again.
And honestly, I’m tired of failing alone. I’d rather win together by celebrating y’alls wins.
So this year, I’m inviting others into it with me—because I know how powerful it is to write alongside a community that gets it.
That’s why I’m hosting a 30-day sprint in November—a paid container where we’ll gather, write, sprint, check in, encourage, and finish what we started.
It’s for writers who are tired of quitting halfway.
It’s for stories that have been waiting patiently.
And it’s for the women who are finally ready to stop overthinking and start moving.
Details are coming soon—but if you already know you want in, you can join the early interest list here.
✨ WHAT TO FOCUS ON RIGHT NOW
Here’s what you can do this week to prepare:
Dust off your idea or revisit your draft
Journal your “why”—why does this story matter right now?
Choose a writing schedule that feels gentle, not rigid
Join a space where you’re not doing this alone (more on that next week…)
Let this month be the turning point.
Let the rituals begin. Let the wheels turn. Let the story whisper its way back into your life.
💬 I’LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS
You don’t need to be “ready” or feel confident.
You just need to begin.
Prep-Tober isn’t about pressure. It’s about permission.
To dream again.
To draft again.
To say yes, even if your voice shakes a little.
