You already know how to write.
So why isn’t it written?
The report, the proposal, the piece you keep pushing to next week — it’s still not done. You’re not short on ability. You’re short on follow-through, and you know it.
Get it Done is a three-month coaching program and private community for writers who are tired of knowing exactly what to do and still not doing it.
Who this program is for
You’re a freelance writer with more pitches in your head than pieces on the page. You know how to write. Sitting down to do it is another matter. Deadlines help, until they don’t.
You’re a content or communications professional with your own writing on the side — a newsletter, a book, a blog — that keeps getting pushed to the weekend. The weekend comes. The writing doesn’t.
You’re a blogger or independent creator who started strong and then slowed down. You have drafts everywhere. Finishing them feels harder than starting new ones.
Whatever your title, you avoid the blank page by staying busy with everything adjacent to writing. You plan. You outline. You reorganize your folders. The actual work waits.
If you saw yourself in any of these descriptions, you’re in the right place.
Even though I’m a professional communicator, I’ve always hated writing. Taking Daphne’s program turned this around 180 degrees. I now look forward to writing, and I’m doing it regularly, quickly and with little-to-no stress. Thank you, Daphne, for everything. Your course was well worth the money.

Why Get it Done works
when other systems fail
Most stuck writers think they need:
- more time
- more discipline
- better motivation
Usually they need something else:
a way to write without triggering overwhelm.
Get it Done works because it replaces binge-writing and perfectionism with small daily sessions, external accountability and the separation of drafting from editing.
That’s the real mechanism.
More than 2,000 writers have succeeded with Get it Done since 2013.
Here’s what changes with 
After three months in Get it Done, members tell me the same thing in different words: writing stops being the worst part of the week.
Here’s what shifts:
- You write every weekday. Not for hours. For five to 30 minutes. Every day.
- The long-delayed project moves. Sometimes slowly at first. Then faster.
- You stop editing while you draft, which is the single biggest reason your writing has been so hard.
- You finish. Posts go live. Reports go to clients. Pitches get submitted.
- The dread goes away. Writing becomes something you do, not something you avoid.
This isn’t theory. I’ve run this program since 2013. More than 2,000 writers have come through it.
What's included with this program…
A 45-minute one-on-one coaching session with me to start. We map your project, your real available time and the habits getting in your way.
Regular group coaching calls on Zoom. We hold these meetings four times each month. Members join from around the world, so dates and times change regularly to reflect the current membership. But every call is recorded, so you always have access to it even if you can’t attend live.
Daily accountability reporting. Five days a week, you log your writing time and word count on the program site. This one habit changes more careers than anything else I teach.
A private chat community. Connect with other writers working on the same kind of project you are. Ask questions. Share wins. Read what other people are figuring out in real time.
Free access to my Power Hour library. Plus the chance to attend sessions live for as long as you’re a Get it Done member.
Three months of support from me. I’m in the chat and available to you via email every day.

Get it Done works. Here’s proof.
With Daphne’s GID program, I’ve established a steady writing habit using a process that works for me. Daphne’s guidance and coaching transformed my perspective so that I overcame my obstacles to writing regularly, including the roadblock of fear and the ghosts of past failed attempts. After eight months in the program, I look back on my progress and feel successful not only because of what I’ve written but also because my fear of writing has transformed to my joy of writing.

Before joining the program, I would try to write at all hours of the day for long stretches at a time. This writing method was mentally exhausting and the quality of my writing suffered for it. Now, I know that the morning hours are the best time for me to write. Even on the days when I am pressed for time, I am reminded of Daphne’s advice on how even five minutes of writing each day is enough to maintain the habit.

Learn from the best
I’m Daphne Gray-Grant. I live in Vancouver. I spent years as a senior editor at a large daily newspaper, and I’ve coached writers online for 25 years. I’ve written two books on the craft: 8 1/2 Steps to Writing Faster, Better and Your Happy First Draft. I used to hate writing. My honours thesis was the worst experience of my writing life. Even after I became an editor, I procrastinated on every assignment. I figured out how to stop, and then I figured out how to teach other people to stop. That’s the whole program in two sentences.

Frequently Asked Questions
People sometimes worry that Get it Done will make writing a full-time job. Or that it will take vast amounts of time. In fact, the opposite is the case. I ask participants to spend only 15 to 30 minutes per day writing (or editing) for five days each week. Yes, you can make serious progress with just 15 minutes a day!
Yes! Writing and revising/editing are entirely different activities, but both require discipline and support. This program provides support and accountability for whatever stage you’re at.
Yes, absolutely! Here’s a list of some of the places participants have come from so far: Australia, China, England, France, Germany, Israel, Singapore and Taiwan.
No problem. Everyone receives a recording of every meeting.
If your project is a report, a series of articles, or a defined writing goal, three months may be enough. If it’s open-ended — an ongoing blog, a content strategy, a large body of work — three months might not wrap it up. But what you can do in this time is develop the writing (or editing) habit. Once you have the habit, you can work on your own, if you wish. Or, after the three months, you can continue with the program on a monthly basis, at a discounted rate.
This program doesn’t include manuscript feedback or line editing — but don’t mistake that for a lack of support. You’ll get structure, accountability, live coaching on the process of writing and a community of fellow writers showing up alongside you. You’ll also have access to a virtual library of hundreds of blog posts and videos covering every aspect of writing, researching and editing. What most writers need isn’t another opinion on their pages. It’s the conditions to actually write them. That’s exactly what this is built for.
This program will not do the writing for you. Whether you ultimately finish your writing project depends on your own hard work. That said, if you do the work and find the program doesn’t help you, there’s a generous and detailed refund policy described above.
