​Isn't It Time To Find A New Approach So You Can Write
The Novel 
You Dream of Writing?
​​

Ways We Make Writing Harder Than It Needs To Be.
Picture
​Hard Way #1: You believe the 100% false idea that you can only write what you know...  Why that won’t work? There are limits to what you know.  Your Imagination is unlimited!​
​Hard Way #2: You think you have to captivate readers with dazzling opening sentences and literary language. This can be a show stopper as the writer writes and rewrites and rewrites until giving up feeling like a failure.​
Hard Way #3: Desperate for validation, you share your work-in-progress with people who know little if anything about the fiction writers' process. (This can be a real danger in a peer workshop.)  Writers are notoriously sensitive. A critique that feels like criticism can bring on  a major Inner Critic attack.

Your best ideas and characters emerge as images that might make little sense. When you trust your imagination, and stop fearing the chaos of a first draft, your characters will talk to you, inspire you and call you to write. When this happens, you know  “I Am A Novelist!”

"Emily has an acute ability to listen. She is honest, though always kind, in saying what doesn't work well, and though she suggests alternatives, she makes certain that the last word on how to proceed is mine. She removes walls, help me step over debris, and at times, picks up one of her medieval swords to help slay my Inner Critic dragon.  I always come away excited, with new direction and confidence in my ability to do what I need to do with my writing." -Sheila Weinstein
