It also stocks your writer’s toolbox. You’ll have the perfect technique at hand when you’re struck by inspiration and be able to keep chipping away even when inspiration is scarce. I can help you develop the skills needed at all levels of composition, from the individual words you choose all the way up to your preferred structures of arguments and narratives. Sometimes, however, it can be difficult to focus on productive writing questions. That’s where mindset coaching helps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8da5421f511629907144d0/1605284515241-KYTCF2XJCF8YTO44CKW7/literature-3033196_1280.jpg More about Coaching - Mindset Coaching Mindset coaching addresses the thought patterns that keep or distract you from writing. Using basic concepts from cognitive science, I teach you to shift your writing mindset away from anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, and impostor syndrome. Once you’ve identified the thoughts getting in the way of your writing, you can redirect your brain towards thinking in ways that move your writing forward. Coaching on the craft of writing develops exactly that kind of thinking. https://www.bessiegoldberg.com/more-about-development daily 0.75 2020-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8da5421f511629907144d0/1605284854431-6ILZDTNI2T3LOJXF1X6E/books-1245690_1920.jpg More about Development - Message Sometimes you know what you want to say, but you can’t quite find the words that say it. Or you think you’re saying it, but no one seems to be getting it. I’ll use my knowledge of rhetorical strategies and techniques to craft a message that lands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8da5421f511629907144d0/1605284882952-443XXGS3MP9XZS7XT6J2/books-1245690_1920.jpg More about Development - Story I use my expertise in narrative to see what’s working and what’s not in stories of all types. Sometimes seeing the structure of your story will show you how the pieces fit; other times it will clarify what needs development or revision. Regardless of whether your story is still a vague idea or already a well-wrought piece, I can bring out its very best. https://www.bessiegoldberg.com/about daily 0.75 2020-12-15 https://www.bessiegoldberg.com/how-i-do-it daily 0.75 2020-12-14
