The middle of the year is a sacred checkpoint for writers. Whether you're working on your first novel, juggling edits and deadlines, or dreaming of scaling your author business, now is the perfect time to reassess your writing goals and set powerful mid-year intentions.

Instead of waiting for January and making resolutions you’ll abandon by February, why not pause now, reflect, realign—and powerfully commit to your writing dreams?

Successful authors like Renée Rose credit intentional mindset work and manifestation practices as a core part of their creative and financial success. In her bestselling book Write to Riches, Renée shares how journaling, visualisation, and energy alignment helped her go from frustrated writer to seven-figure author. And you can do it too.

In this blog, you’ll learn how to:

• Reassess your 2025 writing goals

• Use intention-setting and journaling to reignite your creativity

• Align your mindset with your ideal author identity

• Adopt rituals and practices used by bestselling authors

• Manifest success in your writing career using the Law of Attraction

Step 1: Revisit and Reflect on Your 2025 Writing Goals

Before you move forward, you need to take stock of where you are.

Ask yourself:

• What writing goals did I set at the start of the year?

• Which ones have I accomplished?

• Which ones fell to the side—and why?

Don’t judge yourself. Instead, look at what’s working and what’s not. Maybe your schedule needs tweaking. Maybe your motivation faded. Or maybe the goal no longer aligns with who you are or where you’re going.

Now’s your chance to realign with your deeper writing vision.

Step 2: Set Your Mid-Year Writing Intentions

Now that you’ve reflected, it’s time to set new, powerful intentions for the rest of 2025.

Intentions are different from goals. They’re more about who you’re becoming and how you want to feel in the process. A goal might be: “Finish my novel.” An intention would be: “I want to feel inspired and focused every time I sit down to write.”

Here are a few high-vibe, writer-specific intentions:

• I write consistently and joyfully every week.

• I am fully aligned with my creative purpose.

• My books find the perfect readers.

• I trust my voice and write with confidence.

• Abundance flows through my writing career.

Write your own. Speak them aloud. Feel them as if they are already true.

Step 3: Use Journaling to Get Clarity and Manifestation Momentum

Journaling is one of the most powerful manifestation tools—and it’s a natural fit for writers.

Bestselling author Renée Rose shares how she journals daily to call in what she wants, writing things like, “I’m a millionaire author. My readers love my stories. Writing is fun and easy for me.” And it worked—because she paired belief with action.

Try these mid-year journaling prompts:

• What would my dream writing life look like by December 31, 2025?

• What fears or doubts have held me back—and how can I release them?

• What do I want to feel when I write?

• What is one bold, exciting step I can take this week to move closer to my dream?

Use present tense. Be specific. Let it flow.

Step 4: Create a Daily Writer’s Ritual

Your writing mindset doesn’t just switch on during scheduled writing blocks. It’s something you nurture daily—just like a relationship.

Here’s how to create a simple writer’s manifestation ritual, inspired by Write to Riches:

1. Start your day with intention. Light a candle. Breathe deeply. Say an affirmation: “My words matter. I am a brilliant, successful author.”

2. Journal for 5–10 minutes. Visualise your dream day as an author. Write down what you’re manifesting as if it’s already yours.

3. Move your body. Go for a walk. Dance. Stretch. Moving clears stuck energy and boosts creativity.

4. Write—even just a little. Even 100 words a day keeps the creative energy flowing.

Step 5: Align Your Identity with Your Writing Dreams

One of the most powerful lessons from Write to Riches is this: you need to BE the version of yourself who already has the results you want.

Ask yourself:

• How does a bestselling author think and act?

• What decisions does a full-time writer make?

• How would a confident, magnetic storyteller show up today?

Then start acting as if—before the results show up. Your energy shifts first, then your outer world follows.

Step 6: Visualise Your Writing Success

Visualization is more than just daydreaming—it’s a tool used by Olympic athletes, CEOs, and yes, authors.

Every day, spend 1–2 minutes visualising your dream writing life. Picture:

• Your book on the shelf at your favorite bookstore

• A glowing review in your inbox

• A payment notification for your biggest royalty yet

• Readers emailing you to say your story changed their life

Let yourself feel it. The key is emotion. The stronger the feeling, the stronger the signal you’re sending to the Universe.

Step 7: Take Inspired Action—Consistently

Mindset and manifestation are powerful—but they’re only half the story.

Action is what brings your intentions to life.

Here are simple actions you can take this week:

• Create a realistic writing schedule and stick to it

• Submit to one agent, anthology, or contest

• Invest in a coach, course, or community to support your growth

• Set up your email list, website, or Amazon Author page

• Reconnect with your ideal reader and start building your audience

Remember: aligned action + powerful intention = results.

Write Your Next Chapter With Purpose

You don’t need to wait for the new year to become the writer you want to be. These next six months hold infinite possibility—and they’re yours to shape.

Use this time to dream bigger, feel deeper, and write more boldly than ever before. Set your mid-year writing intentions. Journal your desires. Align your energy. And take action like the author you already are.

Your next level is waiting. All you have to do is claim it.
