Writers hold a special place in my life...art, and the yearning to create, blesses us and all those we touch. But creativity can come with certain stumbling blocks.

The Creative 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?

A creative block is normal. Procrastination is normal. So is fear. You are still an 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 love coaching writers. I understand the needs, wants, and fears of the creative life. I've written short stories, novels, nonfiction, a Ph.D. dissertation, and myriad academic papers, and I know how hard it can be to stay motivated and productive. That can become a vicious circle. But it doesn't need to.

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 find your muse and achieve your goals. If you'd like information on book coaching for women novelists and nonfiction authors (self-help, how-to, biographies, etc.), simply click the link. It leads to my new website called Women-Ink.com.

If you want to learn more about creativity coaching, see what my clients have to say and read more about me. And make an appointment for a "get acquainted" meeting with me and see for yourself how coaching can work for you. Email or call (888) 926-2244* to choose a time.

*If you're outside the U.S., email me and we'll arrange an alternative phone number.

Making art is a journey.
-Meinrad Craighead

 


The artist is a receptacle for emotions
that come from all over the place:
from the sky, from the earth,
from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape,
from a spider's web.
-Pablo Picasso

 


You have to be willing to be very, very bad...
if you're ever to be good.
Only if you stand ready to make mistakes today
can you hope to move ahead tomorrow.
-Dwight Swain

 


It is impossible to get better
and look good at the same time.
-Julia Cameron
