So, you're an author or serious writer but feeling a bit stuck...
"I'm already published but for some reason this next book just isn't coming easy to me... I worry that I don't have anything more or new to say."
"Writing has been my passion and livelihood for years but I'm suddenly feel either bored or scared when I get in front of the computer. Is it time to look for a new career?"
"I feel like a fraud. I've got away with getting my stuff published various places so far but I keep thinking - next time, they'll realise I've no idea what I'm talking about."
"I love writing but I can't focus. I sit down and my mind goes a million other places. I have so many ideas I'd love to share but I just can't get the damn words onto the page."
"I feel under tremendous pressure to produce another book. I feel my industry expects it and it'll enhance my 'expert' status but I don't think I have anything new or interesting to bring to the table."
"I've re-written my book a hundred times over. Each time I think I'm making headways, I want to take it a new direction and then I get stuck all over again."
"I have caught the famous 'writer's block' and I can't seem to overcome the fear of the blank page. I'm desperate for a muse to come and save me!"
If you can relate to any of these statements, I have good news - you're not alone!
And with that comes even greater news - that, absolutely, is a way forward.
However, a few things to note if you want to work with me:
1) I'll be compassionate, kind and gentle but I'll also call you on your BS
2) If you're writing something simply for the sake of getting another published title out there even though you find the topic boring, irrelevant, unoriginal or without substance, that's absolutely ok with me - as long as you're honest with yourself and me about it. It makes it a whole lot easier to produce anything when you're honest with yourself about your 'why'
3) If you think what you're writing is boring, irrelevant, unoriginal or without substance because you have the meanest inner critic, rest assured that I'll also call out the BS of your inner critic and support you like the champion you are to overcome your mental obstacles
4) If you're looking for someone to help you write exciting content posts, if you're looking for a 'how to' mentor - I'm not your gal! This is a place for serious writers who already have ideas and a passion for their craft and I'm here to support you in getting out of your own way and get shit done!
5) I don't do fluff. I don't do shortcuts and band-aid solutions. If you want to be taken serious as a writer, you have to take yourself serious first. It's kind of like the old saying that you can't be truly loved until you love yourself first. I want to dig deep into why you're feeling stuck, what your fears are, what mind obstacles we need to work on and how to have a mental shift about and around your writing, so that you can use this powerful insight to write more powerful stories
6) It's not my job to teach you how to write - though I will read through your writing and offer feedback if needed/wanted
