There are three essential elements of my writing process that will help you to find your truth so you can share it with the world:
Narrative Mapping
We live in a time of unprecedented change when the stories we’ve assumed to be true about identity, whose story counts, and what has value are undergoing radical revision. It’s important to parse personal and cultural narratives and challenge our assumptions. Your story often lives just beyond familiar terrain and you will be called to venture to unexpected places. I offer tools and practices to discover your truth and the narrative building blocks of your work.
Mindful Awareness + Mythic Insight
The writing process is much more than committing words to the page in the order in which events occur. Meditation, mindful awareness, and creativity exercises help us move beyond the limits of our ordinary experience. We can heal old patterns. We can see old stories with new eyes. We can move into the realm of mythic imagination. We can discover new possibilities and write–and live!–our way toward that truth. .
The Craft of Writing
The tools of writing are so satisfying to use when you understand what they are and how to use them. When you learn how to set a scene, for example, or distill and convey complex ideas, or capture the idiosyncrasies of dialogue you can forge a voice as unique as your own DNA. Knowing your craft allows you to commit your story to the page and finally write the essay, story or book that’s inside you.
