The right writing coach can set rockets on ;your writing ability and help you accomplish more writing success than you ever dreamed possible.
But they've got to be the right combination of personalities to help you get the very most out of your ability that you can.
Find the right one, and you're on your way.
Here's an easy way to make it happen.
Working with a coach can make anything so much easier if you do it correctly.
That's why I created a personal coaching module for my writing students.
I wanted to give them every opportunity to succeed, and guide them as much as possible toward their own writing success.
My first task, as your writing coach, is to determine what you need to succeed, and, more specifically, what you need to avoid the problems you're having now.
It could be you simply have a lack of confidence in your own writing ability.
No problem.
There are tips, techniques and tactics that can get you over that.
It's a common challenge that so many people have.
Or it could be a logistical problem.
Finding the time or the place to make your book a reality.
So your writing coach's first concern should be to determine what's holding you back from accomplishing the goals you want to achieve.
Maybe they're obvious, maybe less so.
Your writing coach should give you some strategies for getting over this first challenge.
Your coach's next objective is to get you on the writing path as quickly as possible.
Once you've taken care of the emotional, or logistical problems, that book has to be written.
What's stopping you from making it a reality.
The more honest you can be with your coach, the more immediate your book will be a reality.
Don't try to fight with your writing coach, or pick an argument.
That's easy to do, and it wastes a lot of time.
Both of you want you to succeed.
So the clearer you can be about your concerns, the better it will be for you.
Even if you don't want to admit these challenges, it's better to get them out into the open so they can be dealt with.
Your coach won't be judgmental.
They just want to create the solution for you.
So if you feel you're just trying to sabotage your own success, that's okay.
Just make sure your coach is aware of your challenge so he or dhe can offer you some alternatives.
Many writers think a writing coach will simply be a hard-driving drill sergeant, unmercifully demanding.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Part of the writing coach's job is to determine how close to the fire you want your feet held.
I'll ask a writer if they feel they can accomplish a task by the time we next talk.
If they can, great.
I may start being even more demanding of this student.
If they can't or don't then it may be time to dial down expectations and deadlines and work towards increasing them more gradually.
The last thing a coach wants is to have a student feel frustrated, or incompetent and too embarrassed to continue.
That's why I always tell my students that I'll take them to where they want to go as quickly as they want to move, without pressure, and without judgment.
No matter where you are in your writing career, you can always get better, and a coach is usually just the thing to make your expectations a reality.
Take a look at anyone in the world who has achieved great success and you'll usually find there's a coach behind them helping them improve still further.
If writing is your either your vocation or avocation, then you owe it to yourself to take full advantage of a writing coach.
Pick the right one and you can really watch big things happen for you.
