I should let you know I am recording this while I am in Saudi Arabia. I have just spent eight days, nine days here, teaching on how to start your own creative business. That was last week. And this week it&#8217;s teaching creative writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am passionate, passionate, passionate about helping writers take what is nebulous outside of their head and putting it into form. I have tons of tools for that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When people come into my classes, when people come into my programs, when people come to work one-on-one with me, it&#8217;s because they have a story that won&#8217;t let them go. They have a story that they have maybe partially written. Maybe they&#8217;ve written the whole thing, but they still feel lost or not really sure&#8230; Now what? How do I turn this first draft or even a draft you have worked on multiple times into something that you are truly, truly proud of? Truly in your heart, so excited, maybe nervous, but really excited to share with the world &#8211;to publish, to market&#8211; that it will be part of your author career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have people come to me, having worked on their manuscripts a lot. That first draft. Or they&#8217;ve written it, and they put their whole heart and their whole soul and their whole guts into the story. And they want to know: now, what do I do?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I say, breathe. Take a deep breath. And know that you can take this beautiful, beautiful messy first draft into a polished book that readers will buy. I believe that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now is the road straight? No. Is the road very curvy with lots of twists and turns just like your amazing story? Yes. And there are processes. There are step-by-steps that you can be guided through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The outcome of working with me is not only a finished book that you are proud of. It is making friends with your creative process. It is getting to know how you actually work best. That is the outcome. That is a very important part of this outcome because I work with people who have a long-term dream. They&#8217;re in this for the long haul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not a get quick, get rich quick scheme. This is not let me be a bestseller and do all the things that are trendy. Those things actually have a place. And that takes a certain constitution, certain physiology, a certain mindset to go after that, in that way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now I help people create page turners, rip-roaring reads books, people love to read at the beach on a long flight, you know, hold up in bed because they&#8217;re sick or they just need to stay in bed or want to stay in bed because they&#8217;re reading, reading, reading. I&#8217;ve been there. Staying up all night, not wanting to go to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to create those unputdownable experiences for your readers, and you want to create a story that maybe the world hasn&#8217;t seen yet. So it&#8217;s cross genre. I like to call it a genre mashup of different things in different quantities, not seen by other people or maybe your perspective is not what&#8217;s trending right now. That&#8217;s totally fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe there&#8217;s a place for everyone and I believe your voice matters and your vision matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So one of the benefits of working with me is that I will help you get to know your own creative process really really well, as well as your best friend. This creative process is what&#8217;s going to serve you, is what is supporting you to get to this point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s shed some light on it. Let&#8217;s pay attention to your best working times. Let&#8217;s really dig into how your mind works to help you in the editing process. Let&#8217;s really pay attention to even the blocks and the issues that hold you back because they&#8217;re actually part of the creative process. Let&#8217;s include them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we do that, when we include all of you in the creative process, then you are able to fully show up, bring all of you into this next stage of edit, revise, sometimes rewrite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not a straight line. Everybody is different. And yet there are some standard processes. That you can apply to editing your book. There are many standard problems that I see. Sometimes people are weak on their characters. The characters lack depth. I will help you create fully fleshed out characters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens when the characters lacked depth is the middle of the book falls apart. That is one of the reasons why the middle of the book falls apart is because the characters aren&#8217;t deep enough or well-drawn enough. You don&#8217;t know them well enough. They&#8217;re there. They&#8217;re like halfway there and the plot is there, but there&#8217;s something missing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So one of the areas I notice is weak when that happens is the characters are not fully fleshed out. I help people figure that out. And we have processes and steps and how tos and all the good stuff there. It&#8217;s highly tailored. I have a very big toolkit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I don&#8217;t know until I work with you what is going on. Then I can diagnose it. Once it&#8217;s diagnosed, then you get to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thing is your book is not as good as it could be. And you know that, but you can&#8217;t make it better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why can&#8217;t you make it better?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because there&#8217;s a lack of awareness, a lack of knowledge, a lack of operating the tools that make fiction fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiction is a craft and an art. And I work on both those levels. Fiction is also an expression of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you lack the vocabulary, if you lack the awareness, if you lack the skillset, that shows up on the page, and I can tell. I can read someone&#8217;s manuscript and I can see where the lacks are, and then I can teach you and coach you how to bring all of you. To the page, so that you can fix your manuscript to be the kind of thing that you see in bookstores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible. It is absolutely possible. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with you. It&#8217;s just a lack of skill, experience, and awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So one of the benefits of working with me is that I make room for the human experience. It&#8217;s not easy being an artist. Fiction writing included. As fiction writers we are sharing Parts of ourselves onto the page, and that can be very scary. You could <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feel really vulnerable. Totally understandable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m not trying to fix you. I&#8217;m only trying to teach and guide and facilitate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>So working with me is right for you if&#8230;<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, working with me is right for you if you&#8217;re up for that adventure. Because it is an adventure. It&#8217;s exciting. The terrain that you&#8217;re exploring in your story is also the terrain that you&#8217;re exploring inside of yourself. So I bring that awareness into the creative process, into all the how-tos and the step-by-step and the processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And we have fun. We have serious fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with me is right for you if you&#8217;re up for that. That&#8217;s the way it is. That&#8217;s who I am. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m interested in. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been passionate about for over 25 years. And, I believe in you. I absolutely believe in you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. Come join me. If this is your cup of tea, if this is the soup you want to swim in, come join me. I would love to talk with you and see if my group coaching program is right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A Special Shout-Out: Wow!
