Hello writer!
I’m Lily C and I’m so happy that you’ve found this safe haven for writers. I’d love to share a bit about my journey with fiction writing.
Over the past 10 years, I have:
completed a Bachelor’s degree in Film and Television Production,
created a business with a university friend writing and filming showreels for actors,
worked as a freelance script editor/analyst and narrative designer/writer for indie video games
and I’m now experiencing the wonderful joy and immense pain of writing my first novel.
And boy does it suck.
Don’t get me wrong – its great too.
The feeling of writing dialogue that hits home, or finishing an outline, or coming up with that satisfying piece of foreshadowing, are the reasons why I want to keep writing – why I stick it out.
But frequently the experience of writing can be average or as painful as pulling teeth (yikes).
I know what it’s like to feel like writing is too hard.
I have painfully procrastinated writing, I have been afraid to start projects because I didn’t think I was good enough, I have stopped projects because my work wasn’t perfect, and I have been stuck in writing funks because I couldn’t solve character or plot problems.
And I still do experience these things, but I’m getting better at stopping the self-sabotage talk and being gentle with myself.
As well as using all the work arounds I can to make the process easier.
This is why I created
The Writer’s Toolbox.
I wanted a place other writers could come to whenever they experienced these setbacks. A place that offered comfort, relatability and reliability through the tools that help with writing problems – whether it be writers block, plot and character development issues, or a desire for fresh inspiration.
I know firsthand how daunting it can be to sit down and face the blank page, so I designed these workbooks to make writing less overwhelming and more achievable.
Each guide is packed with clear, actionable exercises or questions designed to build confidence and momentum, so you can stop wondering 'Where do I start?' and begin creating with purpose.
I believe every writer has a story worth telling
And I’m here to make sure you have the tools you need to tell yours with confidence.
I'm excited to support you on this journey — let’s bring your stories to life, one page at a time!
