Shape Your Writing,
Focus Your Message

Or how I wrestled this 423-page book to completion with simple, hands-on tools.

As a fellow writer, I'd like to share the real, behind-the-scenes story how my second book tried to kill me.

Hyperbole aside, writing The Idea Shapers felt like wrestling a bear for 3 years.

In this PDF, I share how I persevered and completed my book in 2016.

(Not a cute bear like this one.)

I bet you'll relate to my story if you....

Have ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of research you need to organize for a writing project

Struggle to find the narrative thread in mountains of complex information

Start writing projects with enthusiasm but get bogged down in the messy middle

Feel like your brain works differently than traditional writing advice assumes

Experience that frustrating gap between knowing your subject deeply and explaining it clearly

Have piles of notes, documents, and ideas but can't figure out how to structure them

Feel pressure to have everything figured out before you start writing

Suspect there might be a better way to approach writing than staring at a blank document

Good news! This 11-page PDF is chock full of the simple, hands-on tools I used to overcome these challenges.

What you'll discover in Shape Your Writing, Focus Your Message:

The 2 visual thinking tools I used to shove around my ideas until I got the right structure for the book

9 visual choices that give you more ways to organize ideas than traditional writing ever could

Simple materials you already own that can transform how you approach any complex project

Finally, a way to wrestle complex writing projects to the ground.

Visual thinking is not about becoming an artist.

This is about becoming a clearer thinker. Whether you're an academic wanting to make your writing more engaging, a researcher drowning in data, or a creative writer intimidated by the research process, these tools work.

Best of all? You don't need fancy software or artistic skills. Just index cards, blank paper, a few pens, and the willingness to try something different.
