Writing and art
hold a special place in my life...the yearning to create blesses
us and all those we touch. But
creativity can come with certain stumbling blocks.
The Writing
Life
I've been a
reader and a writer all my life. Reading is easy. Writing
is hard.
Or at least
it can be... Sometimes your thoughts flow right onto the
page, fully formed and beautiful. The very air around you
is like a fairy mist, offering your every desire—a
clever turn of phrase, a crucial glimpse into a character's
psyche, a brilliant plot twist that leaves you giddy.
But at other
times you stare at a taunting blank page, and the flow's
been blocked by the regurgitations of a mental cement truck.
Unproductive and miserable, you feel like an utter failure—or
worse, a fraud. How can I be a writer if I can't write?
Writer's block
is normal. Procrastination is normal. So is fear. You're
still a writer, even if you're stuck or blocked. And the
good news is that you can get through the stuck place and
the fear. Just as words dance across the page in the good
times, you can dance around the block in the bad.
I'm a professional,
nationally certified life coach and I love coaching writers.
I know the needs, fears, and dreams of the creative life.
I've written short
stories, a dissertation, peer-reviewed scientific papers,
and I've had twelve contest finals or wins with my novel
manuscripts to date.
I understand how hard it can be to stay motivated and productive—and
how the vicious circle of writer's block begins and ends.
Some
say writing is like opening up a vein and pouring it onto
the page. My goal as a coach is to help you write freely
and joyfully, without all the bleeding and angst. I'm here
to help you be productive, confident, and excited about
your creativity. Work with me to be best friends with your
muse and achieve your goals.
