BOOK COACHING
with Richelle
"I coach high achieving women to THRIVE, not just survive,
writing their first novel."
-Richelle Lyn Aschenbrenner
For Me, Your Writing Dreams Are Personal!
In just a matter of hours, you can go from thinking...to doing...
and be on your novel writing journey.
If you are a new writer ready to write your first novel and are unsure of where to start and/or have found it difficult to set aside the time to get started, fear not. You can do this, and starting might be easier than you think.
I walked away from my professional career in legal and HR just shy of 50 to take a sabbatical to write my first novel. I was afraid I’d miss my window if I didn’t start then, and I didn’t believe there was any other way to do it other than to go all in. But I hadn’t done any pre-work and didn’t know how or where to start. So, I designed my own novel-writing self-study program, which involved a steep learning curve filled with many detours and rabbit holes. I learned many valuable lessons along the way, but I spent more time and energy than I liked learning how to be a writer and write a novel, instead of jumping right in. If I’d known then what I know now, my on-ramp into the writing world would have been much faster, smoother, and way more fun.
~You don’t need to wonder about when you’re going to start writing a novel any longer.
~You don’t need to quit your job or wait until you have a break from work to start telling your story.
~And you can make it to the finish line with a completed manuscript, on a schedule and timeline that works for you, by setting yourself up with the resources that are right for you.
The first step on your novel writing journey is to either sign up for my introductory Mini Blueprint for a Book (Fiction) Coaching Package here or a free brainstorming session with me to discuss the next steps on your novel writing journey.
I EMPOWER high achieving women who have been dreaming of writing a book for decades to make space in their life to test drive writing a book now, not someday; so, they don’t leave achieving their writing dream to chance.
LET ME BE YOUR PERSONAL GUIDE. I provide my clients with the toolkit to:
~Test drive writing,
~Shortcut and/or avoid some of the road bumps in the novel writing process, and
~Incorporate story building and writing in small doses into daily life, which adds up to something significant over time - and can add so much JOY to life now.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? START TODAY, NOT SOMEDAY…
