I Help Creatives Like You Find Your Writing Voice

“You were the best phone call I ever made! You opened up something inside of me that was always there and gave me the courage to write, seek joy and curiosity! I am writing more than ever.”   — Diane Pientsch

Do you have a writing dream you want to come true?

Maybe you want to author your first book, or write a blog that explores a topic you find valuable and meaningful?

But the truth is most artists (and most people) struggle with writing.

It’s scary being alone, bumping around the “putting-words-together” part of our brain, right?

And that fear makes it hard to just be yourself and enchant readers by writing what’s in your heart.

You may feel frozen by fear.

I’ve been there.

I figured out how to unfreeze myself.  

And I know just how to help you unfreeze yourself too.

“If you’re always trying to be normal you’ll never know how amazing you can be.” – Maya Angelou

All you need is some new information and affirmation to get your lovely Willy Wonka writing dream factory up and running.

And I’m the gal to stand by your side and help you make it happen.

“Finding Thea was like finding a gem in the middle of a haystack.

Thea provides great nuts and bolts info yet she’s also intuitive, thoughtful, and inspiring.  She gets me at so many professional levels.

If you’re looking for someone to provide practical help and encouragement all along the way to improve your blog or write and publish your book—search no more.”

— Lauren Mantecon, fine artist/writer

Writing Coaching For Artists: *Keeping it Real Section

There’s no magic pill that turns anyone into a good writer overnight.

Writing is re-writing. Period.

My goal is to give creatives like you the feedback you need to strengthen your unique writing voice and build your own permanent, reliable, internal writing guidance system.

And we do that each time we connect.

But to truly make your art writing shine you have to do be willing to do two things on your own:

1. Spend a lot of time tinkering with what you’ve already written.

2. Take a chance on being vulnerable on the page.

If you can love yourself enough to commit to learning how to go about doing those two things; I believe lush, new, vibrant worlds will open up for you.

You’ll no longer dread writing.

In fact, in the future, it may be tough for you to pick which great, meaningful idea you get to write about next.

But all that swell stuff can’t start happening unless you say;

‘Damn it, I’m worth it,’ and sign up for the package that’s right for you.
