Two Days to Write

   If you want more success as a
creative writer, freelance journalist, copywriter or academic, help is on the way.

You already know how to write.

But what if you have problems actually getting your writing DONE?

We can fix that. 

You've been asking me to create a practical, action-oriented program to help you make significant progress on your writing and marketing goals, such as:

  • revising a book chapter or proposal
  • drafting an e-book
  • getting a batch of new queries drafted and out the door
  • planning or launching a brand-new writing project or income stream

I'm glad to tell you that theTwo Days To Write program is now available.

I'm about to share with you everything you need to advance your important writing goals with a fun, productive “two-day writing push” you can do in the comfort of your own home or office.



"The workshop and the extra calls I had with Marla helped me focus on a goal that had been evading me for quite a while. I wrote and published three new blog posts and drafted two guest posts in two days.

"I really needed a virtual kick-in-the-pants, and Marla provided it."

Marijke Vroomen Durning, health writer and blogger www.GamesWeUsedtoPlay.ca


Here's how to create a productive, two day writing push
that works with your schedule and your needs

When you join the Two Days To Write program, you'll learn my personal, proven strategies for making rapid progress on writing goals – it's exactly what I use to make sure my own writing and creative work gets done.

But most importantly, you'll learn how to adapt my writing schedule to your life and needs, so you can accommodate family obligations and craft an intensive that suits you perfectly

Best yet, you'll have fun. 

I've run the Two Days To Write program before, and the people who have been a part of it have had a blast.

They've shared career resources and playlists in the private members' forum.  They've helped each other as accountability partners when things got tough and cheered each other on. 

It's an incredibly supportive environment full of people just like you who are ready to get their writing DONE.


"I drafted a polished a story and revised two chapters of my novel over the weekend. I was surprisingly productive!

Before the intensive, I was scared to commit to my writing. It was always easier to say 'I'm so busy, I don't have time.' I felt nervous I would blow the intensive off and I wasn't sure how it would work for me.

But Two Days to Write is a great use of technology, and I surprised myself by not getting distracted. The online forum was very helpful--I felt like I wasn't alone. 

I would absolutely recommend Two Days to Write to other writers.  It worked for me." 

Kimberly Marcus, aspiring children's author



I can't wait to help you design and complete your own productive, two-day writing push. 

You won't believe how relieved, motivated and proud you'll feel when you're done.

Two Days of Productive Writing or Marketing:
Here's How it Works

When you join us in the Two Days To Write program, you'll be taken through three steps to help you make major progress on your goals:

  • First, you'll go through three audio lessons (with step-by-step worksheets and simple exercises) so you can set yourself up for success

  • Next, you'll segment your day and begin working on your writing or marketing projects, accessing group or private, 1:1 support as you need it, either online or by phone throughout your two-day intensive

  • Finally, you'll wrap it all up with a “celebration call” with your fellow class participants where you can get the congratulations you deserve

Step One:
Set Yourself Up For Success


The week before you begin your productive two-day writing or marketing push, you'll prepare yourself to succeed with a 3-part audio series (delivered as MP3 files you can listen to on your computer or portable music player).

You'll receive one audio on the Sunday, Monday and Wednesday before your writing intensive so you have plenty of time to work through each one.

Each lesson includes tworksheets and a simple wrap-up exercise to get you inspired, motivated and organized.  (If you follow along step-by-step, you won’t get overwhelmed.) I'll also throw in FAQs from prior sessions to save you time and get your most common questions answered fast. 

These audios will prepare you for your first two-day writing push, and you can listen to these again and again to kick-start another push anytime you want in the future.

(You'll want to keep these handy.  They're fantastic.)

Here's what you'll learn in 3-part audio series:

Session One:
Clear Your Mind, Streamline Your Calendar
and Declutter Your Writing Space

Most writers overlook this important step.

In this one-hour audio session, I'll give you simple, step-by-step guidance to optimize your mindset and create a supportive, productive writing environment—without getting overwhelmed. 

Session 2:
Craft Your Two Day Writing Goals

I'll show you how to be both daring and decisive in this one-hour audio session.

Whether you'll be writing all day or working a few hours at a time, these simple exercises will help you craft a strategic, laser-sharp writing or marketing goal so you can use your time well.

Session 3:
Create Your Custom-Fit, Two-Day Time and Energy Map

Here's where you get to make your two-day intensive suit YOU.

During this one-hour audio session, I'll help you map out your time and energy to create your own custom-fit, two-day writing intensive using my Two Days to Write Blueprint.

After this straightforward session, you're ready for the next step ...


Step Two:
Your Two-Day Writing or Marketing Push


Once you're ready to begin your Two Days To Write push, here's where you'll be:

  • You'll be ready to start the morning with a clear mind, a streamlined schedule and a decluttered writing space. 
  • You'll have a step-by-step schedule and work plan so you know exactly what to work on – and when.
  • You'll have a supportive, private community of fellow creative writers, journalists, copywriters or academics willing to offer you encouragement and support via the members' forum.
  • You'll be confident, focused and ready-to-write! 

The night before your intensive begins…

Join us on Friday at 4pm Pacific (7pm Eastern) for a 60-minute Kick-Off Call.  You’ll get tips to make the most of the program, and you can share your concerns and get your last-minute questions answered.  You’ll leave the call feeling more confident about your plans and more connected to fellow writers.  You’ll know exactly what to do when you sit down to start your first writing or marketing day. 

You can connect to the call for free via Skype, or use your own phone if it's more convenient.

And if you can't make the call – or any of the other call this weekend - an audio recording will be available immediately after each call ends.

Each morning and throughout your two days of writing or marketing, here's what you'll do:

  • Join us Saturday and Sunday at 8am Pacific (11am Eastern) for a 20-minute Smart-Start Call where you can address your fears and bolster your confidence, drive and focus
  • Start writing!
  • Use the private members' forum any time you want to ask questions, report your accomplishments and celebrate your achievements
  • Call me for a quick “laser coaching” session if you need help keeping motivated, focused or productive
  • Join us at 2pm Pacific (5pm Eastern) on Saturday for a 60-minute Accountability Call where we can make sure you're on track
  • On Sunday, join us for our 60-minute Celebration Call at 2pm Pacific (5pm Eastern) where we can celebrate your success and congratulate you on all the progress you've made!

Can't make a call?  Don't worry.  I’ll provide you with audio recordings of every group call immediately after we meet, so you can listen in whenever it suits your schedule, regardless of your location or time zone.

During each day of your intensive, you'll be able to check in with other writers online or call me for private, 1:1 coaching to keep you on-track and moving forward.

And that's how Two Days to Write sets you up for success – and progress – on the writing projects that matter most to you.




"I thought the course was very well designed. I was able to get back into submitting some magazine queries after taking Marla's course, something that had been put on the back burner since I started focusing more on my copywriting business.

"I would recommend Two Days to Write to any writer looking to make significant headway towards a writing goal."

But that’s not all.

Step Three:
Learn How To Keep Your Momentum Going Strong


Congratulations – by this time you'll have completed your first successful two-day writing push!

But I want you to keep that momentum going strong so you'll be able to achieve all your writing goals from this point forward.

After the Two Days To Write intensive is finished, you'll receive a special one-hour audio session that will help you move your writing projects forward anytime you want, as many times as you want.

In addition to this audio session you'll receive:

  • step-by-step instructions to help you craft a 30-day goal and map your writing project out over the next month
  • a fill-in-the-blanks, 30-day action plan
  • tips to help you create a sustainable writing routine after the intensive ends
  • the chance to get your planning questions answered in a 60-minute group call the Tuesday after your intensive ends

Best of all, you can join the Two Days To Write
program for a full 50% off – here's why.

"Marla gave us many helpful techniques to motivate ourselves and keep ourselves productive over the long haul. After taking the Two Days to Write intensive, I feel I have a solid working system in place that I can for pretty much any work-related task, whether it's the actual writing, marketing my services, or doing my billing. And besides that, the workshop got me excited about writing again."
