“A writer is one to whom writing comes harder than to anybody else.” — Thomas Mann

I Offer you One-to-one Coaching for Writers with Resistance.

As a book coach, I get to see the magic happen.

As writers progress through a draft, the stuff getting in the way recedes at some point, and they start using their craft with new boldness and confidence, putting down words with increasing ease.

But what is this 'stuff', and how can we get it out of the way?

That's the mystery that we explore together with Writer's Compass Coaching.

We will play Miss Marple. 

We will look for clues in your backstory, investigating your creative wounds and the surprising details of your life history that subconsciously steer you away from the page and make writing feel like wading through treacle. 

We will imaginatively personify the parts of ourselves that are afraid and resistant and interview them as witnesses. 

They may be quite delightful or utterly villainous. 

Meeting them will feel imaginative, intimate, and moving. And it will also help you reassure them that you’ve got this and notice when they’re crying out for your attention.

We will also meet a crew of inner allies; the more resilient, wiser parts of yourself that will help you overcome the obstacles in your way. 

You’ll become familiar with these characters, just as you would the characters in your novel. You’ll start to know it’s them speaking when you tell yourself you’re not good enough, you’re wasting your time, or, conversely, that this is what you want, and you deserve to hold space for it.

And you'll feel lighter, more like yourself, less cautious as a writer, more certain, BRAVER.
