Description
Do you have a writing project that you can't get started on? Or that you can't finish? Lynn Hammond (Prashanti) will give you 3 hours of compassionate coaching, a $300 value.
A college professor for almost 40 years, she specializes in helping people to find their authentic voice and to have the courage to write what is in their hearts--not just what feels safe. She has midwifed books on such disparate topics as Winter Wilderness Camping and A Thousand Years of Organ Technique.
One student said, "You didn't just help me with my writing; you helped me with my life. Now I can talk more openly with my girlfriend, and we have a much stronger relationship."
Another writer, having written a moving biography of her mother who now has Alzheimer's said: "You balance compassion with rigor. I wish I had known sooner how riveting writing can be. I have written stories I've wanted to tell for years, and you've made it so rewarding that I sometimes fight with my family for the computer--and sometimes they have to cook their own dinner because I can't stop writing."
Special Instructions
Lynn lives in the California bay area, and this work can be done in person or over the phone.
