Hi folks!

While we wait for Kickstarter to collect pledges, I wanted to share an upcoming project I'm excited about from Kristen Tate.

Thank you, backers!

Stretch goal unlocked! See what you earned.

We just hit 400 backers! 

That unlocked the first big stretch goal for all backers at $7 and up:

I'm excited to work on this bonus for you, along with all the rest of the rewards. 

There's two days left of this campaign, so we still have time to pass the next stretch goal: 

If just a small percentage of those backing at the ebook or paperback levels upgraded to the Q&A tier, we'd unlock this reward pretty easily. That would be a lot of value for the price, so just something to consider. 

Thanks to all 400+ backers! Your support is so crucial for my motivation. I have a lot to deliver on this project, but I look forward to the challenge!

Happy writing, 
Claire

Help me spread the word to earn bonus rewards!

We're inching closer to both stretch goals, and I really can't guess which one we'll hit first. 

If we hit these stretch goals today, I'll throw in some extra ones that aren't far off so we can try to hit those, too. 

I could use your help getting the word out, but I like for things to be fun, so what I've done is create a graphic pack. 

There's a version for each of the 45 pairings. If you've been writing your characters with the Enneagram already, or you know the types of a pair you love, grab that graphic from the folder to post about it. 

There's a vertical version:

And a horizontal version:

You can download the one that matches the central pair in your WIP (or your IRL relationship) and post it wherever you like to help spread the word. 

All the downloads are available in this Proton Drive until the end of the campaign:

Thank you, and onward to those stretch goals!

New bonus announced!
29 days ago – Thu, Sep 03, 2026 at 08:42:58 AM

Announcing a brand-new bonus stretch goal for backers:

If this project hits 400 backers, everyone who backs at $7+ will earn...

A one-page printable character dynamics worksheet. Print out a new one for each book you write to organize the building-blocks of your story, including:

• Protagonist's type
• Antagonist's type
• Central dynamics to develop
• Central story theme
• Points of conflict
• Points of connection
• Dynamics with important secondary characters

This stretch goal unlocks when the project hits 400 backers. Your help getting the word out will ensure we reach that before the end of the campaign!

We still haven't reached our first dollar-amount stretch goal:

 If this project hits $20,000, everyone who backs at $40+ will earn...
9 Types Live Class with Claire Taylor

If we hit this one before September 10th, backers are invited to a 90-minute live class where we get to know the nine types of the Enneagram (recorded for those who can't make it live).

Once we cross these thresholds, I'll be announcing additional stretch goals, like trope-specific character dynamic deep dives to help you understand why the pair you pick may be giving you trouble in your story. 

First things first! Tell your friends about the campaign so you have other story nerds to talk to as you go through the book and courses and so we can unlock these bonuses! Thank you for your support so far! 🤠

Happy writing, 
Claire
