\"\"<\/a>Do you ever wonder if your to-do list is ever going to be done?<\/p>\n

Do you catch yourself saying, \u201cSomeday\u2026\u201d and then go right back to your daily hustle?<\/p>\n

If your answers are yes, we might have some things in common. I\u2019ve been there and I can help you find your way back to magic and ease and creativity.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time I was a writer who spent more time wanting to write than actually writing. I was tortured inside about that.<\/p>\n

I managed to get writing by focusing on nonfiction, but I really wanted to be writing fiction, novels specifically. But that dream felt so far away. I had no idea how to write stories.<\/p>\n

When I finally did start writing fiction seriously, it took me so long to write that first novel\u2014five years.<\/p>\n

Was I really a writer? I felt so unaccomplished, so unfulfilled, my potential untapped. Deep inside I was frustrated, the edge of hopelessness eating at the fringes of my consciousness.<\/p>\n

I hit rock bottom, especially when I started teaching other writers. The gap between where I was and where I wanted to be was Grand Canyon vast. How could I be a writing teacher if I wasn\u2019t as deeply committed to my writing as I invited my students to be? Boy, was I beating myself up about that.<\/p>\n

I knew I couldn\u2019t continue like this. It wasn\u2019t sustainable. I was ready for a change. I was ready to live the magical life I wanted as a creative writer.<\/p>\n

This exploration and quest have been so fruitful and magical and led me to be more creative, in the flow, and feeling resourceful to create and live the life I want.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m grateful to have learned so much from that experience and am also committed to helping prevent this same situation for others by sharing my story.<\/p>\n
