LIVE WORKSHOP | 90 MINUTES | REPLAY INCLUDED

Write the Story That Starts Everything

Why your next project shouldn't be your dream project — and what to write instead.

JUST $47 (INCREASES TO $197 SOON)

Raise Hand

Tired of loving a story you can’t seem to start?

Raise Hand

Sick of restarting the same draft and never getting past where it stops matching what you imagined?

Raise Hand

Worried you’re doing everything right and still not building the readership your stories deserve?

Inside Write the Story That Starts Everything, you'll learn how to:

The principle serious novelists use to choose the right project at the right time — and why most writers never apply it consciously.
The Dream Project Trap — what it is, why it catches writers at every level, and the decision that gets you out of it.
What your right first project is actually supposed to accomplish — and the specific things it needs to do that most writers never consider.
What stalls writers mid-draft — and the moves that get you to the end when everything in your head says stop.
What a writer discovers about themselves on the other side of the right project — that they absolutely could not have known before.

Write the Story That Starts Everything

Give me $47 and 90 minutes, and you'll walk away knowing exactly what to write first, why starting there protects the story you care about most, and how to stop cir-cling long enough to actually begin.

DATE: April 7, 2026

TIME: 9 AM CST

REPLAY INCLUDED.

About Me

Hey, my writing friend, I'm Dana.USA Today and International Amazon Bestselling Author. Developmental editor. Book coach. 40+ novels published. 20+ years in this industry.In those twenty years, I have sat across from hundreds of writers carrying the same question. Not the one they say out loud, the one about craft or plotting or whether their idea is strong enough. The real one. The one underneath all of it.Why am I not there yet?I built this workshop because I know what the answer is. And I know that most writers never get to hear it stated plainly. They get craft advice, marketing tips, mind-set content. And they come back to that same question, still standing in the same place.The answer has nothing to do with talent. It has nothing to do with how much they love their story. It has everything to do with one project they haven't written yet.Come in. Let's talk about that project.

Quick Q&A

Will this work for the type of romance I write?

Yes. Whether you write contemporary romance, paranormal romance, romantic suspense, billionaire romance, shifters, mafia, small-town — this workshop is built for the romance market and every example will be genre-specific. Wherever your readers are, what you'll learn here applies.

What if I don't write romance?

The teaching in this workshop is rooted in romance because that is the Danja Tales world, and all examples will be genre-specific. But what you'll learn applies beyond romance — the writers it speaks to most are romance, fantasy, urban fantasy, and para-normal. If that's your world, you're in the right room.

What if I'm early in my writing journey?

This is the best possible time to be in this workshop. Learning what you'll learn here before you start means you build your foundation right from day one — not after a stalled draft has already taken a piece of your confidence.

What if I can't make it live?

Grab your ticket and catch the replay. The replay is always included, and you'll have access as soon as it's ready — typically within 48 hours of the live session. Your free gift comes with it.

I'm a Danja Tales Writers student. Do I need to buy this workshop?

As a DTW member, the replay will be added to your classroom — so the content is included in your membership. Purchasing the workshop gives you lifetime access to the replay in your forever library, yours to revisit anytime.

I already have a story I want to write. Does this mean I have to write something completely different first?

That's exactly the kind of question this workshop is built to answer for you. Come in and leave with the clarity to make the right call for your specific situation.

What if I've already started a test novella — or even finished one?

Come in anyway. Many writers have already started one without knowing that's what it was. This workshop gives language and framework to what you've already ex-perienced — and shifts how you see every project that comes after.

Will this work for the type of romance I write?

Yes. Whether you write contemporary romance, paranormal romance, romantic suspense, billionaire romance, shifters, mafia, small-town — this workshop is built for the romance market and every example will be genre-specific. Wherever your readers are, what you'll learn here applies.

What if I'm not sure what my niche is yet?

You're in the right place. This workshop will show you why the right project is closer to answering that question than you think.

I have one last question... how can I contact you?

You can reach me at https://danjatales.com/contact/ or inside the DTW Community. I'm happy to answer any questions before the workshop.
