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 kindred support
You already have everything you need within you,
but maybe you need some gentle guidance to find your way.
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, I am uniquely positioned to offer guidance and support to individuals in the realm of creativity and growth. As a homeschool parent, 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 and artists with their goals and creative lives. Through conversation-based coaching video calls, we can work together to move your projects forward and construct the creative life you’ve dreamed of while meeting and surpassing your goals and dreams.
I’m deeply curious and passionate about writing and creativity, from word choice and character development to time management and our struggles and joys as writers and artists. 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 sustainable practices.
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.
Currently, 1:1 calls are offered as a tier on my Patreon. In addition, depending on availability, I’m able to create bespoke coaching packages.
Get in touch, and we can get started!
