To the Burnt Out Writer

A little love, a little honesty, and a new book to help you find your way back.

Dearest Writer,

If you’re anything like me, you probably have a love-hate relationship with your writing right now. You want to write. You think about writing all the time. You feel better when you’re writing. And yet... you just can’t seem to do it.

You’re not lazy. You’re not blocked. You’re just burnt out.

I know that place all too well. It’s what inspired me to create something new—not another craft book or productivity planner, but something gentler. Something that helps you untangle the messy thoughts in your head and reconnect with why you started writing in the first place.

It’s called The Writer’s Healing Reset, and it’s a mix of short essays and journal prompts designed to help you come back to your creative self without pressure or shame. No word count goals. No timelines. Just honest reflection and a gentle guide back to the page.

This isn’t a book that tells you to push through. It’s the one that tells you to take a breath. To listen in. To remember that writing isn’t just a thing you do—it’s part of who you are.

If that sounds like something you need right now, you can find the book here: crissilangwell.com/the-writers-healing-reset

It’s available in hardcover or an instant PDF download.

If you do pick it up, I’d love to know what you think. I always love hearing from fellow writers on the path. You can reply to this email, leave a review, or tag me on Instagram at @crissilangwellbooks and @loveletterstowriters.

Here’s to giving yourself a little grace.
You deserve it.

Until the next chapter,
Crissi
