Create a fulfilling writing life and sustainable writing practices.

Your creativity deserves your attention.
But you can’t make art when your soul is empty and dry.

New from Charlotte Donlon and Spiritual Direction for Writers®:

Develop a Sustainable Writing Practice
It’s important to develop a writing practice that works with your life. Our SDW Online Course has step-by-step instructions for designing a writing practice that won’t ask you to neglect your other responsibilities.

✓ Use the Spiritual Direction for Writers® Solo Writing Retreat Guides
When you’re in a lull, a solo writing retreat is a great way to inspire your writing. Use our retreat guides for when you can’t leave your house. When you’re on a business trip. Or when you are away for a weekend!

You are called to write.

Being disconnected from your creative spirit feels like being disconnected from your purpose. I started SDW so you can create a fulfilling writing life.

I’ve helped hundreds of people make time for their writing and have the writing lives they’ve always wanted.

Develop a Writing Practice That Works for YOU

Have the writing life you’ve always wanted!

Spiritual Direction for Writers® provides resources and offerings for writers who are creating fulfilling writing lives and sustainable writing practices.

For many writers, life’s responsibilities always come before writing. The rules for what it means to be a “real writer” exclude writers with day jobs, kids, school, or other responsibilities. 

But you are called to write. 
And not writing leaves you feeling disconnected from your purpose. 

Spiritual Direction for Writers® has helped hundreds of people make time for their writing. Now they have the writing lives they’ve always wanted. 

It’s so easy to get started. When you join SDW, you learn how to design a nourishing writing practice. One that is sustainable with your lifestyle. You’ll also gain access to tons of Solo Writing Retreat guides that help to foster your creativity.  And so much more.

SDW will help you have the writing life you’ve always wanted. You’ll feel connected to your purpose again. Or you can continue to struggle to fit writing into the rest of your life. To feel disconnected from your creative spirit. 

SDW can help you out of this rut and have the writing life you’ve always wanted.
