Creative Process Coaching
Creativity is work, and successful creators commit to a creative process: routines, habits, and practices for continuing to do the work every day. Successful creators don’t wait for inspiration; they create everyday conditions for inspiration to happen and the work to emerge.
I can work with you to clarify, build, and sustain the everyday conditions for your creativity. Together, we can:
clarify your current habits and practices for working,
break or minimize the habits that impede your work and your enjoyment in it,
build new habits and practices for greater creativity and enjoyment,
problem-solve interruptions to your creative process, and
develop skills for re-centering yourself in the midst of creative anxiety.
Reach out and let’s talk about building a process that sustains your creativity.
Creative Project Collaboration
Creative inspiration can happen in dialogue if you have the right thought partner. But it’s easy to become isolated in your work or surrounded by others doing similar things. Talking with someone knowledgeable but also slightly removed from your area of creative expertise can spark something new and keep you excited about your work.
For over 30 years, I have collaborated as a thought partner with academic and creative writers and artists engaged in months-long and years-long creative projects. I have collaborated in creative projects across the arts, humanities, and social sciences, including non-academic, creative writing and the visual arts.
I can collaborate with you as a thought-partner through your project. Together, we can work to:
generate or brainstorm new ideas,
define your project,
edit or restructure the project as you create it,
clarify your audience,
introduce you and your work, and
understand and interpret feedback.
Reach out and let’s talk about your project.
