Do you know people with stories in their hearts who are swamped by feelings that get in the way of writing?
Through my retreats, I help these gentle writers begin their project in a kindness-first workshop.
In fact, we write our characters into three-dimensional life by exploring our own personal themes, values, and passions. Writers from previous workshops report big breakthroughs in expressing their stories.
Do you know any people who wish they could write their story, but are stuck in a ton of self-doubt or worry? I can help.
