The Writers Nest is a nurturing space where you can settle in, dive deep, and commit to starting and finishing writing projects. I’ve been at the writing game for a while and offer encouragement while structuring manageable deadlines that aren’t terrifying. As a writing guide / mentor, I lead experimental writing groups and assist reluctant writers, and those who want their work to cross over to publication. I’ve studied with many generous teachers and am familiar with the monkey mind tricks of avoidance, doubt, fear, and procrastination. I’ve been told I also make the process of writing fun.
