Coaching for Writers

— Magic Happens at the Edge—

Make Writing Easier

You are here - and that means you are ready to activate some serious writing magic, even if you’re blocked or stalled by self doubt, perfectionism, life circumstances or burn out. Even if you have a hundred drawer novels. Even if you haven’t even gotten started yet. If you are happy with your writing life already, then this is the work that will take you deeper into your own process and more fully into the wonder of your own creative self. Having an experienced mindset and writing coach by your side will give you the tools to make writing easier, help you find your motivation to write, and unleash your full creative potential.

Straight up honest moment: I do not guarantee you’ll get published or be famous or make a ton of money writing. I do promise that I can help you get to your words, keep coming back to your words, and do so with greater joy and insight. I am not a book coach or an editor, but I can help you find the magic of your own legendary creative process. That, in turn, will help you access your deepest creativity and trust it enough to take the creative risks that will set your writing apart from that of all the other writers out there. I can help you manage your fears and turn your inner critic into an ally so that you spend less time procrastinating and avoiding and more time writing.

A group for writers on a quest to take writing dreams from "someday" to NOW through the magic of Accountability, Motivation, Creative Play, Companionship, and Support.

Let's put your awesome writer imagination to work. Roll forward in time to a year from now, and picture this.

You've transformed the way you come to your writing. You show up consistently to the page and it feels amazing. You have writer friends and support systems in place to help you through the hard spots.

You look back at what you’ve created this year and a warm glow of accomplishment flows through you.

You know, once and for all, that you are a Legendary Writer on a quest to fulfill a Legendary Dream.

For a fraction of what you spend on coffee or chocolate, you get access to an exclusive group of writers who are invested in living their writing dreams.

Based on the principles that make Nanowrimo work so well for so many writers -- without the crazy time crunch--the League is designed to help you get writing and keep writing at any stage of your writing journey.

Here are some of the things you will get when you decide to invest in your writing and join the League.

• Accountability: Set yearly, monthly, and weekly goals and declare them to the group--then come back around and assess your progress and adjust either your goal or your plan as needed so that you don't just think about writing, but actually get yourself to the page

• Motivation: Get support from others in the League and borrow their energy and momentum. Join in our virtual write ins. Share your successes, large and small, at our monthly YOU DONE GOOD virtual celebration so that you build momentum and get the achievement endorphins that keep bringing you back to your words. Get motivated to write.

• Companionship: Connect with other writers so you are not facing those inevitable moments of doubt and despair alone.

• Support: Ongoing support from me, a writing mindset coach and experienced writer who is in the trenches, writing along right beside you.

Join the League. Embrace Your Legendary.

This work will transform the way you come to your writing. You’ll apply the power of forgiveness to those who have wounded your creative soul as well as your own critical, judgmental self and all of the ways it has held you back. You’ll learn to use Emotional Freedom Technique to disrupt unhelpful thought and habit patterns and calm anxiety. You’ll learn to identify and change your self limiting and self sabotaging behaviors so you can grow into your dreams. You’ll dive deep into your subconscious through guided meditations designed to access your own inner wisdom and initiate change from the inside out. Uncover your motivation for writing with an abundance of gentle, inspiring creativity tips from the Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching philosophy.

I design coaching packages for writers based on individual needs and experience, ranging from basic to premium, focused on mindset and motivation for writing. I can also come speak with your group at a seminar or retreat.
