💬 June - 12 Chapters Club
Month 6 of 12 - How was last month for you?
WELCOME to
12 Chapters Club.
✨
This month, your 12 Chapters prompt is;
To be honest about your struggles…
I'm looking forward to hearing from you below… the chat threads each month will be hosted here on Substack.
TELL us (in the comments) - how did you get on last month, how’s your book shaping up?
Don’t forget to introduce yourself too so we can keep getting to know each other.
If you are publishing some of your book as newsletters or blogs here, tag me and I’ll share in Notes.
Sending sparkles for your month ahead. I'll write again 5 days before the end of the month as a reminder. This email will come from outside of Substack so make sure you are signed up to receive those here.
Let's write books!!

P.S - Thanks to those of you who came along to our mid year meet up, I’ll schedule another for the end of the year - probably November or January as December gets too busy. Let me know what you’d prefer?
Get your own 12 Chapters Badge! You can add it to any posts you publish here… some people are building both their book and publishing to get audience feedback.
PS - if you’ve not yet introduced yourself, you can do that here, the monthly threads close on the last day of the month. If you want to receive reminder emails for 12 Chapters Club you need to sign up for free here.
Loved the meet up we had.
My 12 chapters have turned into the book I am currently publishing (not the next one).
May was massive for me in respect of big book breakthroughs 🤩 I now have a 4 phase healing & growth model to integrate into all that I’ve learned.
The 12 chapters (sections really) I am publishing here each month are part of that model.
It’s all coming together, though I’ve gone through a phase where all this has added way more work to do and it hasn’t felt like I’m getting any closer to the end. Hopefully I can turn that around this month and get loads done!
Also debating a title change (again!). Migraine Mastery - Heal Your Body. Lead change. Would love to hear feedback on that one.
Hi Claire - and everyone else,
I’d say my first draft is going pretty well since I started writing with others at Suzy Walker’s writing hour. I was struggling to give myself time to work on the novel, but now I have these set times the words are flowing and I’m about half way through chapter 5. I am
Going to try and add more times myself too, but actually by simply showing up to these two sessions each week I’m making progress. I usually write 1000-1100 words in the 50 mins (there’s 5 mins each end of the session to catch up). In theory I could have a whole book in 40 weeks of doing this even if I only wrote in these two sessions.
I know everyone finds their own way, but this has really worked for me.
I’m excited for what comes next and how my story will progress :)
