Rediscover the Joy of Writing with a 1-1 writing mentor
Writing is more than a hobby
Itâs your source of JOY
The kind of joy that will have you
â scribbling sexy urgent character ideas on a Pret napkin on your lunch break
â cramming the notes app on your iPhone with fanciful and fruity plans for poems on your commute
â urgently recording voice notes with tasty short story inspo, while you wait in the line at the grocery store
You donât have to wait for inspiration to strike.
In just 12 weeks, you could beâŚ
â creating dastardly worlds with delicious villains who whisper their secrets to you as your writing flows
â finding the time to tell stories easily and joyfully without your judgey-brain-side telling you that your writing stinks.
â using words and stories to express your most potent thoughts, dreams and fears, like you did when you were a kid.
So tell meâŚ
Are you ready for a 1-1 writing mentor?
So you can finally stop saying âI want to writeâ and experience the JOY of saying âIâm a writerâ
âWell that all sounds nice, but I donât have time for myselfâ
Ok, Ok I hear you⌠youâve got objections. You think it's not that easyâŚ
Youâre a grown up. Youâre an adult. You have an adult life with adult priorities. You have to pay the bills, answer Janet from accounts (why is she emailing you on the weekend?!), you have to clean the loo, sort that ridiculous bulging cupboard, you have to look after people, you have to practise self care (see all of Instagram for How-To-Self-Care), you have to be a-loving-and-caring-someone to someone else (kids, dogs, partner, friend, rabbit). You thinkâŚ
âCreativity isnât a priority⌠itâs a luxury. Writing takes time. It is self-indulgent. And imperfect.â
So you close your laptop (again). You put away your gorgeous writing notebook (so shiny- so empty) and your favourite bestest writerâs writing pen and you walk away from the stories inside you.
Guess what?
Your objections are 100% correct.
Writing is
Time-consuming â
Self-indulgent â
Imperfect â
Writing is also
The vital creative act which will make you feel alive again.
âOkâŚso whatâs this writor mentoring all about?â
In 1-1 writing coaching we work together for 12 weeks (or more if you wanna), to find shortcuts to get to that ruddy gorgeous creativity brain haven FAST through addressing your thought patterns and what really stops you picking up the pen or opening your laptop to start writing.
What do you tell yourself about your writing? And how does your brain get in your way? As well as being an arty farty type, Iâm also a qualified coach so I know how to help you unpick those mental blocks, so you can get to it and write with joy.
Canât find time to create?
We will find your writing time together, because the time is there, already sitting in your schedule waiting to be utilised (hello aimless scrolling), you just need to know where to look.
Canât rely on yourself to get creative things done?
I LOVE this one. Iâm gonna be your slightly annoying but oh-so wise and important Aunty who throws you truth bombs and holds you accountable. Iâll do it with grace, love and kindness. And a laugh. Always with a laugh.
Will this help me get published /get an agent/ win the booker?
No, it will not. YOU might make those things happen⌠but 1-1 Writing coaching with me will do something else.
I will support you to create beautiful, complex, challenging and powerful things. Pieces of art, which make your heart sing.
For you.
For joy.
So you can feel alive again.
