Course Overview

Overview

If you’ve been staring at the same blinking cursor for a season and a half, this is your course. The Unfreeze Protocol assumes the freeze is real, physical, and not your fault. It also assumes you can write — you’ve just forgotten what that feels like. We’re not going to inspire you out of the freeze. We’re going to mechanic our way out. Four weeks. Twenty-four lessons. One evidence sweep a week. By the end you’ll have a stack of proof — your own, in your own words — that you can in fact write. The freeze becomes background noise instead of the whole song.

What’s inside

• 4 modules, 24 lessons, self-paced — and self-paced does not mean self-abandoning
• Mindset Maven Test that names YOUR specific freeze pattern (not a generic block label)
• 4 guided meditations averaging 8 minutes — short enough you’ll actually press play
• Toolkit: weekly Evidence Sweep planner + Micro-Start worksheet you’ll re-use forever
• Lifetime access, unlimited retakes, no expiry, no shame timer
• Companion blog post per module — public, shareable, your secret weapon when you want to send a friend the gist

Who this is for

• The novelist whose draft has been open in another tab since February
• The memoirist who keeps writing the first chapter and abandoning it at chapter three
• The screenwriter staring at a blinking cursor and a Final Draft template that won’t load
• The short story writer with eleven half-stories in a folder named ‘maybe’

FAQs

Is this self-paced?
Yes. You finish on your schedule. Lifetime access. You can retake it whenever the freeze comes back — and the freeze will come back at some point, because it’s freeze, not failure.

Do I need to be a published writer?
No. Most of the students in this aren’t. The course works for anyone with a draft and a problem.

How long does it take?
Four weeks at the recommended pace. Eight weeks at the actually-possible pace. Two years if you keep starting and stopping, which — given the topic of the course — would be on-brand.

Is there homework?
There are dares. You can do them. You can skip them. The course doesn’t grade you. You will, but that’s a different problem and we cover it.

Will this fix my writers block?
Here’s what it will do: name your specific freeze pattern, give you four micro-starts you can use forever, and rebuild your evidence base that you can write. Here’s what it won’t: make the freeze never return. Honest answer.

Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 14 days, no questions, no guilt-trip. You shouldn’t have to argue your way out of a course that didn’t fit.

What one student said

★★★★★

“My friend kept screenshotting pages of this course at me. After the eighth screenshot I gave in and bought it. I’m not someone who finishes online courses — I’ve abandoned dozens. I haven’t technically finished this one either. What I do have is the Evidence Sweep, which has lived in my Notes app for going on a year now. That one tool is worth the entire price. I’ll get to the rest of the course eventually. Or I won’t. The Sweep already gave me my money back twice over.”
