Getting Going: a 1-hour session, one-to-one
Based on my experiences of stuckness (as a writer and as an editor/mentor working with authors who’ve felt stuck) these one-to-one clinics are for writers who have hit a hump, or have lost momentum, motivation, or direction in their work, or are just seeking to find fresh enjoyment in their writing.
Maybe you’re feeling stuck between drafts of a short story, or perhaps you’ve hit a wall midway through your novel, or maybe you’re just feeling flat about your writing in general. The conversation is designed to locate the energy that’s trapped in the stuckness and release it, anew…
How the session goes:
We will have a 1-hour phone call, where you will talk at me about your work, your writing, the problems you’ve identified, and I will listen and interrupt and ask questions – all with the view to drawing you out, and to help identify what might be underneath the impasse you're experiencing. I won’t be giving detailed feedback on your work (if you’re looking for feedback, you can try my Going Deep mentoring); rather, these sessions are about making space for authors to hear themselves think aloud about their writing and their creative process. It’s a place for you to articulate what you’re seeking to do, and what you’re presently doing, and a chance for us to identify any limiting beliefs or unhelpful ‘rules’ – on or off the page – that might be holding you back. My hope is that through airing your doubts we can begin to reframe your writing problems as opportunities, allowing you to return to your work with vigour and a revived sense of possibility.
