Writing is a solo activity
but our writing lives can feel expansive and supported
Crafting words and sentences into stories is a magical endeavor. Even the simplest piece of writing is layered and nuanced, full of the writer’s imagination mixed with the reader’s experience. Writing itself is a solitary act. We sit with our notebooks and laptops, pens and endless cups of warm beverages, and stare at the blank page until bravery takes over and we write one word down followed by another. We breathe life into a blank space, drafting worlds out of thin air and our imagination.
But sometimes, our minds can get in the way of the story.
Sometimes, our inner critics won’t allow a single word to be written.
Sometimes, our ideas, fears, and thoughts get muddled like a knotted ball of yarn,
and we can’t find a beginning or end to save ourselves.
Sometimes, we need a helping hand.
Let me be your gentle guide, and I’ll help you weave the stories of your dreams from the knotted jumble.
As a writer of fiction and nonfiction who has led group and one-on-one coaching sessions, and as a veteran homeschool parent, I am uniquely positioned to offer guidance and support to individuals in the realm of creativity and growth. I crafted my children’s education to meet their individual needs leading to growth and deep personal development, and have done the same for writers with their goals and creative lives. Through conversation-based coaching video calls and weekly support via email and voice notes, we can work together to move your creative life forward and construct the writing life you’ve dreamed of while meeting and surpassing your goals and dreams.
I’m deeply curious and passionate about writing, from word choice and character development to time management and our struggles and joys as writers. I would be honored to walk alongside you wherever you are in your journey, from the spark of an idea or longing for a creative life to the final drafts of your project, and ultimately guide you towards a sustainable writing practice.
In our one-on-one calls, we can explore your ideas, writing, process, goals, and individual needs as a creative. I can also provide developmental feedback on your works in progress and help you maintain momentum with accountability check-ins. Let’s get to the heart of what’s been holding you back and what you need to move forward.
