For writers who are tired of forcing it.
You’ve done the courses. You’ve tried the systems.
You’re still stuck—and starting to wonder if it’s even worth it anymore.
Real Indie Author helps mid-career writers rebuild trust in their process and create work they can sustain long-term.
Story Stamina System
The Problem
Not all of my outlines succeeded. No matter how hard I worked on them, or how hard the author in question worked with me, there were some outlines that just tanked.
They didn’t motivate. They didn’t make the writing more efficient. They didn’t alleviate problems.
Digging In
I’m not the type of person who is comfortable with seeing a problem and doing nothing. I attempted to create several solutions, and some worked better than others.
However, when I dug into the problem more, I realized that people create differently. So why would one outline or approach work for everyone?
The Solution
Once I’d made that epiphany, it was all research and finding guinea pigs to test drive different approaches. I searched for authors who would allow me to pepper them with questions to discover what worked best for each of them.
And that’s how the Story Stamina System came to be.
“Frankie’s wholistic approach to coaching has been a godsend for my struggling writing career. Her knowledge, experience and enthusiasm are second to none, and she truly cares about her authors. Whether you’re a beginner writer overwhelmed by All The Things, or an experienced writer who needs some ‘back to basics’, reinvigoration of stale processes, or a bit of a motivation-and-confidence kick in the butt, Frankie helps tap into your psyche and align those things hindering your ability to create. She provides honest and timely feedback, helps strengthen your weaknesses, and is super easy to communicate with. Frankie is an excellent coach and I highly recommend her services.”
