Fiction is an extraordinary force for connection and understanding. It’s through stories that we find the courage to explore the depths of the human experience, to witness the lives of others, and to build the empathy that binds us together. Fiction is not just entertainment; it’s a pathway to wholehearted living. This belief is at the heart of everything I do, both as a writer and a writing coach.
When we engage with fiction as a reader, we step into the vulnerability of the characters and the worlds they inhabit. We allow ourselves to see others in their most authentic forms. To read is to engage in empathy, to take a courageous leap into the unknown that expands our capacity for compassion.
For writers, creating fiction is an act of daring greatly. It’s about embracing vulnerability, showing up on the page with all our imperfections, and sharing our truths. Writing fiction is a bold declaration that our stories matter, that our voices deserve to be heard. It’s a way to process our experiences, to make sense of our world, and to connect with others on a deeply human level.
I am deeply committed to helping writers finish their novels and share their stories with the world. I believe in the power of fiction to transform lives, to build bridges of understanding, and to spark imagination.
As a writing coach, I provide writers with the instruction, community, and mindset work they need to succeed. These three pillars form the foundation of everything I do. It’s why I named my company Sit Write Here.
- Sit: This represents the mindset work. Writing can be a daunting task, filled with self-doubt and inner critics. I help writers cultivate a mindful approach, turning inward to find focus and courage.
- Write: This is the craft. Improving our writing skills is a continual journey, and I provide the tools, techniques, and feedback necessary for writers to hone their abilities and elevate their storytelling.
- Here: Here is where we find community. Writing is often a solitary endeavor, but we thrive when we connect with others who share our passion. Our Mindful Writing Community meets every weekday to provide a space for writers to do their work with like-minded individuals who support each other with encouragement and a lively exchange of ideas.
If you have a story you’re yearning to tell, I invite you to book a time to talk with me about it. Together, we can embark on this journey of creativity and connection. Let’s dare to share our stories, embrace our authenticity, and connect through the magic of fiction.
