Coaching Writers

Coaching with Shades of Crimson

Rendering the write impact

I believe that real writing talent begins before the words are even put to paper. When a writer is comfortable listening to their creative impressions, not trying to capture them intellectually, but instead integrating them at the emotional level, the words will flow. Those words will reach the reader because they have come from that place in a writer.

The writing is then rendered through trusting the connection to self, through attitude, passion for expression and love of words, and of course, education, skill and practice – lots of practice.

Support yourself as a writer

Many talented writers lack the discipline and self-confidence that permits their writing to mature. The more vulnerable a writer feels, the more their perspective is narrowed and the less likely they are to explore their writing fully. This results in a lack of belief in their writing abilities, vulnerability to criticism and lack of accountability.

Through our coaching sessions you will identify your strengths and weaknesses, and determine how you can best support your writing practice. Focusing on metaphors will encourage a connection with your subconscious. This practice will unleash inspiration and creative possibilities that surpass the limits your conscious mind can impose on your imagination.

Metaphor coaching

You’ll notice that your use of metaphors is consistent over time; words and expressions are a symbolic language that is unique to the way you make sense of your world.

Metaphors are tools you use to capture the essence of your experience. They express what you sometimes can’t put into words. Whatever a person says and senses, as well as what they imagine, can be understood through metaphor.
