Writing more humanly in an increasingly distracted world.
Ghostwriter and writing coach in Portland
(for people who say they're "not writers")
So you’ve decided to tap into your own human creativity to write something. You could have used ChatGPT (that would have been easier,) but no. Your ideas are too original, important, and personal for it to not come from you. And now you’re frozen in front of a blank page or drowning in rough drafts you hate.
My purple pen and I can help.
With a process-minded writer and coach navigating you through “creative block”, you can nurture, clarify, and express your ideas in a way that sounds like it’s coming from you… because it is coming from you.
