Writing 10 Pages Shouldn’t Feel Impossible...

But It Does. 

 

You open the doc, feel your chest tighten, and close it just as fast.

One snack turns into hours of scrolling. Another day gone. Still no pages.

You’ve skipped sleep, canceled plans, done everything but finish the draft.
Now you’re wondering if maybe you’re just not cut out for this.

It’s not that you can’t write. You’ve just been taught to do it the hard way.
We’re going to show you something better.

The 10 Pages In 2 Days Writing Retreat gives you a proven 5-step method to write 10 solid pages in one weekend (without spiraling, overthinking, or burning out).

Let’s Be Honest

 

If Your Process Was Working,

You’d Be Done By Now. 

 

You’ve been planning, reading, and trying to write, but nothing sticks.

Why? Because you’re using the same strategies you learned in undergrad to finish something that requires a whole new level of thinking.

You were never taught how to write like a scholar.

That’s not your fault. But it is your responsibility to fix it.

The 10 Pages In 2 Days Writing Retreat is where that starts.

This is a writing workshop designed to teach you the exact process for how to plan, write, and revise real dissertation chapters (and know you’re doing it right).

Here’s How You'll Write 10 Pages: 

Step-by-Step Scholar Planning Routine

 

We don’t let you waste another hour "getting ready to write." You’ll learn how to build a real plan that fits your actual life, your energy, and your deadlines so you can stop spinning your wheels and start hitting goals.

Guided Scholar Writing System

 

We break down what no one else has taught you:

  • How to read without falling into a citation rabbit hole.
  • How to draft without second-guessing every sentence.
  • How to revise like a scholar, not a student.

You’ll get structure, language, and clear checkpoints so you know exactly what you’re doing and why it works.

 Immediate Practice. Real-Time Feedback.

 

You don’t just learn. You do.
During the retreat, you’ll implement what you’re taught, get coached through roadblocks, and walk away with 10 solid pages and the confidence that they actually make sense.

How It Works

This is a guided 2-day writing experience.
 We’ll teach you the system, give you space to practice, and offer feedback in real time, so you’re not figuring this out alone.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

From One Scholar Who Knows What It’s Like to Feel Behind 

 

Hi, I'm Dr. Lacy and I know what it’s like to wake up every day swearing you’ll write.

Then go to bed dreading the guilt from another exhausting day gone without opening your draft.

It eats at you. The shame. The silence. The wondering if you’re ever going to finish.

But here’s what I had to realize and what I want you to know:
You’re not lazy. You were never taught how to balance scholar life with real life.

No one handed you a step-by-step guide for how to write a dissertation. They just expected you to figure it out.

That’s not fair. And that’s exactly why I created the 10 Pages In 2 Days Writing Retreat.

You’ll learn the exact system I used to finish. The same system that’s helped thousands of students just like you finally put words on the page.

Stop beating yourself up for what you were never taught. Sign up. Learn the system. Become doctor.
