The Author’s Way

A Creative Path to Awaken the Writer and Storyteller Within While Crafting Your Memoir.

When it comes to writing a memoir, autobiography or fiction book based on your life, we understand…the struggle is real.

 

What if . . .

  • What if my life is too boring?
  • What if I don’t have anything new to say?
  • What if my family or friends get mad at me?
  • What if my writing sucks?
  • What if writing ends up being a waste of time and money?
  • What if I embarrass myself? And look stupid.
  •  What if writing a book is a huge time-suck, a total waste of time that I’ll regret later.

 

What if writing a book is harder than you thought it would be?

Becoming an author is not just about putting words on paper. It’s a creative journey with many challenges that need to be faced. You must learn how to write for others (instead of only for yourself.)

It’s also about our mental outlook. Like an athlete, we must envision ourselves or “act as if” we are a book author before we can become one.
You can’t expect to be good at all of this if you only read books, watch videos, or meet famous authors. You need ….

I will be forever grateful to Kelly for the classes which made my book possible. She helped me to discover how valuable it can be to wander, to get lost, to take yourself by surprise.

Kelly’s writing workshops are different. They spark a creative mindset and challenge me to learn new storytelling skills. During class time, I create scenes to put into my memoir. We all feel so safe in class and when others are vulnerable and evocative, they inspire me to be real. My writing is more raw and the more honest it becomes, the more it impacts readers and audiences.

Brilliantly perceptive and compassionate, Kelly is helping me turn my experiences while writing the Route 66 books into a memoir. We also shaped them into a speech I gave at the Gene Autry Museum. The talk was a huge success. She turns writing into an adventure.

“O my God, imagine you wake up someday, and you’re 65 or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written, or you didn’t go swimming in those warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen.” -Anne Lamott
