Hi, I’m Sharla Fanous—author, poet, writing guide, and calm systems enthusiast.

Writing has always been more than words on a page for me; it’s been a lifeline. I started writing in seasons of uncertainty, heartbreak, and transition, never quite sure if I was “qualified” enough to call myself a writer. What changed everything was stepping into a writing community. Surrounded by people who understood the pull of stories and the power of expression, I found courage, inspiration, and the accountability to keep showing up. That simple act of belonging helped me grow into the writer (and author) I am today.

Since then, I’ve published multiple books of poetry and prose. Each one began as a quiet ritual: a moment of stillness with pen in hand, a way to process my thoughts, and a practice that grew into something bigger than me. Publishing wasn’t just about putting books into the world. It was about proving to myself that my words mattered, and so did I.

But here’s the other part of the story: I’ve always been someone who creates order out of overwhelm.

For years, I worked behind the scenes in operations and administrative leadership, building workflows, organizing information, supporting busy teams, and creating systems that made life feel more manageable. And over time, I realized something important: the same part of me that loves structure and organization is deeply connected to the part of me that loves writing.

Because writing needs room.

It needs time.

It needs a life that isn’t constantly on fire.

Now I bring both worlds together—creative ritual and practical structure—to help people feel calmer, clearer, and more supported in their everyday lives. I work with writers who want to build a sustainable practice, and I support neurodivergent individuals, families, and entrepreneurs who need organizing systems that actually work for their brains.

Whether you’re picking up a pen for the first time, longing to create a writing ritual you’ll look forward to, trying to bring your home back to baseline, or dreaming of building a business that feels less chaotic, I want to walk alongside you. I believe you don’t need to be perfect to begin. You need the right support and a next step you can maintain.

Here, you’ll find prompts, structure, encouragement, and tools along with practical organizing support for your home, your business, and the spaces that hold your life.

Most importantly, you’ll find a place to belong.

A space to return to yourself freely, deeply, and wholeheartedly.

Because writing is more than a hobby.

Organization is more than tidying.

Both are forms of care. Both are art.

They’re rituals. They’re tools. They’re ways of becoming.
