Hello, friend! The first and forever purpose of this blog is to inspire other writers to persist despite obstacles, especially self-imposed ones. Writing this blog for the last twenty years has led me to my work as a writing coach. As an educator for more than a quarter century and a writer for even longer, I bring plenty of experience to my work as a coach. Below are some resources I’ve created in my work as a coach. Free to use, always. These links will take you to documents made in Docs (Google). If you use Gmail, you can go to file/make a copy to have your own form to fill out. Otherwise, you can select the text and copy/paste it into the word processor of your choice. If you’re interested in one-on-one coaching with me, see the details below the links.
