  • WCP246 First Tuesday: Write that pitch
    Oct 3 2023

    Sometimes you AND your pitch need to get out of your head and out into the world. 

    On the first Tuesday of the month, I’m hosting co-pitching calls where freelancers work on their pitches together. 

    This month I offered a few short prompts for those who needed it. Here I elaborate on ways to approach these prompts, your story idea, your editor, your readers, and your mindset.

  • WCP245 Archives: 🐶 Monday mornings on the mountain with Mishka
    Sep 19 2023

    On Monday mornings I used to be cranky and anxious. It’s not a great combo any time, and not a great foundation for the week ahead. 

    Then I created a ritual to help me transition … and I actually look forward to that time when I get to look at my writing projects from a totally different perspective. 

    Creating a ritual or two in your writing life can provide structure, meaning, and momentum.

    This episode is in memory of the patron puppy saint of the Writing Coach Podcast, Mishka.
