Half the year is already behind us. If you're a writer—published, aspiring, stalled, or dreaming—this is your sign to pause, reset, and realign.

Forget vague resolutions. Instead, tune in to the writer you want to be—and start becoming them now.

I’ve used this process for years and have manifested incredible things: bestsellers, a dream home, running a publishing company from the Sunshine Coast, and even writing full-time while raising four kids and a flock of chickens. It works—and I’m not alone.

USA Today bestselling author Renée Rose shares in her book Write to Riches how she shifted from scarcity thinking (writing late at night after work, feeling unworthy of big success) to manifesting a seven-figure author business—all by combining mindset, manifestation, and consistent action.

If you’re ready to make the second half of 2025 your breakthrough chapter, here’s how to start:

✍️ Create a Sacred Writing Ritual

Find a calm space. Light a candle. Diffuse frankincense or another grounding oil. Grab your journal and open your heart.

This is where transformation begins.

Renée shares that she built a daily manifestation ritual that included visualisation, affirmations, and goal-writing. She called it her “morning magic”—and she credits it with unlocking the energy shift that changed her writing life.

You can create your own version. Make it yours. Make it sacred.

🌟 Dream Bigger Than Feels Safe

Ask yourself: What do I actually want?

Finish the novel? Hit six-figure sales? Speak on stage at a book festival? Start a Patreon and write full time?

Whatever it is—don’t shrink it to feel “realistic.” In Write to Riches, Renée explains how she stopped setting goals that felt “reasonable” and started setting ones that lit her up and scared her a little. That’s when things began to shift.

When I first visualised myself becoming a bestselling author, it felt audacious. But I wrote it down. I felt into it. I took steps. Now, that vision is my reality.

🪞Align with the Writer You Want to Be

Say this aloud: “I am a successful writer. My stories are worthy. My voice matters.”
Stand in front of the mirror. Say it again. And again. Until something in you starts to believe it.

Renée calls this “being in vibrational alignment” with your goals. If you want to earn more from your books, or be more consistent with your writing, you need to FEEL like that version of yourself now—not “someday.”

✨ Write Your Author Intentions

Use these prompts to unlock your second-half-of-2025 writing vision:

  (e.g. consistent daily writer, Amazon bestseller, booked-out writing coach)

• What are 3 small steps you can take this week to move closer?

• What fuels your creativity daily?
  (Journaling? Audiobooks? Walks in nature? Coffee-fueled sprints?)

• If money wasn’t a factor, what would your writing life look like?

• Would you still write the same genre, or try something new?

💌 Lock It In

Fold your intentions and place them somewhere sacred—inside your journal, tucked into a drawer, or pinned to your vision board. Set a phone reminder for December 31st, 2025.

Just like Renée did when she wrote down her income goal and hit it by the end of the year—you might surprise yourself.

Final Thoughts: Your Author Life is a Creation

Renée Rose writes, “The life you desire is already available to you—it’s just a matter of tuning into the right frequency.” I believe that wholeheartedly.

Let these next six months be the most creative, aligned, and abundant season of your writing life yet.

You’re not too late. You’re right on time.
Now grab the pen, and write your next chapter into existence.
