Why a course about the creative process?

For a long time, I thought I couldn't be a real writer.

I had stringent ideas about how "real" writers operate.

I thought there was a "right" way to approach the blank page.

I assumed that because my way looked different than other writers I knew (or had heard of), that I must not be the real deal.

And so I despaired.

But somehow, I also kept writing a little bit in the midst of this doubt and fear.

Eventually, I had the most wonderful of epiphanies: The creative process looks different for everyone.


This realization gave me a sense of freedom and confidence about my writing that I needed.

It gave me permission to experiment with my own creative process so I could build sustainable, nourishing, and more prolific writing life.

I know I'm not alone in these kinds of concerns: Questions and misconceptions about the creative process come up all the time with my clients, as well.

So I've created a new course that focuses on building a writing practice that works for you.


The Writing Life: Rituals, Rhythms, & Practices is a 4-week online course designed to help discover and  discover and embrace your unique writing practice. 

  • Examine your assumptions.
  • Dismantle your myths.
  • Discover your creative cues.
  • Develop a writing practice.
  • Show up for your writing life.
  • Make sense of your natural rhythms.
  • Gain insight into what inspires you.
  • Harness creative enthusiasm.
  • Find joy and ease in the creative process.

During this four-week course, you'll learn about a variety of factors that influence your creative process and experiment to see what works for you. This course includes stories & lessons, tips & techniques, exercises & prompts, resources & inspiration -- plus time to try them out.

When you understand your unique creative process, you'll be more relaxed, more prolific, and more consistent in your writing practice.
