Life has a way of creating blocks for you as a writer — illness, urgent work tasks, or unexpected family distractions can pull you away from your writing projects.

Just this week a writer told me that after two weeks of “not writing”, all her progress of the past months feels lost — she feels like she’s starting from scratch again. If she’d only kept up the momentum… (but now, it was too late). I could see the frustration in her face.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and afraid that you might not return to your craft, you’re not alone.

I’m here to walk you through a compassionate and trusting approach to help you find your way back to writing — with three mindset-shifting coaching exercises that I’ve tried and tested, and you can do them by yourself.

By embracing a simple shift, you can release stress and frustration, which is essential for rediscovering the joy and motivation to return to your book or other creative project and get it done.
