Writer’s Coaching Topics We Can Tackle – Together

Here are some of the ways we might want to work together:

Vision, Goals, & Writer Identity

• Developing a vision for your writer’s life so you know where you’re headed.
• Helping you claim your writer’s identity so you can step fully into yourself as a writer and into your writing life without holding back anymore.
• Setting clear writing goals with a realistic writing plan so you can move each writing project to completion.

Writer’s Life & Schedule Design

• Creating a writing schedule that actually works with your for-real life, not an imaginary writing life far off in your future.
• Building a consistent, regular writing practice to help you meet your writing goals.

Accountability

• Setting up personal 1:1 accountability and support so you can make consistent progress on your writing goals (there’s something about reporting in, personally and regularly, that’s incredibly motivating).

Writing Projects & Story Coaching

• Choosing your next best writing project — no more sticky book (or script) choosing paralysis quandaries.
• Mapping out a timeline for writing or revising your book (or script) so you can set your own expectations reasonably.
• Breaking down your writing into small manageable chunks so you stay out of overwhelm and focus on “doing the next thing.”
• Brainstorming around plot, character, story holes, and more.

Managing Writer Stresses & Well-Being

• Managing your inner critic by addressing each negative message directly and positively, so you can build a new, more positive inner dialogue with yourself (and know how to handle that inner rascal when s/he gets out of control).
• Coming up with personalized solutions for your specific creative blocks, including helping you handle any past creative wounds that are affecting your here and now.
• Figuring out how to deal with the overwhelm of tackling and organizing that years-long book you’ve been working on and have content all over the place for, and other monster writing issues you’re facing.
• Navigating the inner journey of your rewrite so you don’t lose yourself — or lose heart — along the way.
• Untangling challenging feedback you’ve received on your book or script so you feel good about how to move ahead with revisions.

Building Your Author Platform

• In addition to offering support around website creation, we can also review your social media, blogging, and newsletter strategies.

Of course there are many other possible things we can work on. What I find is that each writer has their own unique challenges. My goal is to find solutions that work for you.
