Next Steps

You Have Choices

Where are you with your creative life? Might a handbook help? How about a conversation?

One place to begin is to pick up a copy of FLOAT • Becoming Unstuck for Writers.

As its title suggests, I wrote this handbook for writers and other artists to open and use any time they want a creative boost, breath of fresh air, or change in perspective.

I expect every reader will have their favorites – some of mine were “Eye On The Why”; “Fence Yourself In”; “Fire The Editor,” and “Tell Me A Story.” One can learn from Anne’s fine work even if one is not stuck. ~ Ed Hess, Professor Emeritus, Darden School of Business, University of Virginia

Disruptions in my routine are hell on my writing life. So, I’m proactively turning to Anne Carley’s book FLOAT. She writes about the tension writers face between their need for connection and time alone with their projects. Often, it’s the tension between these poles, or an imbalance between them, that causes stuckness. ~ Lisa Cooper Ellison

I might just flip it open at random to choose one of the exercises/tools just for the heck of it and to keep the writing muscles limber. Also, there’s a terrific section of inspirational quotations in the back. ~ Clifford Garstang

 

An elegantly organized guidebook for writers, which belongs on a shelf with Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. Part toolbox, part emergency first-aid kit, this is essential reading.

A wonderful reference book for writers, it helps you explore how writing can be better and easier. – Amazon reviewer

Love, love, LOVED this book. It’s a great coach to have hanging around your writing desk, especially when the muses are playing hide and seek. – Goodreads reviewer

FLOAT shows a sensitivity to the challenges confronted by writers, especially the constant flux between isolation and connectedness, pursuing what is in many ways a solitary occupation. – Amazon reviewer

Looking for some personal support with your project? Can’t find the time you need? Want help #becomingunstuck? Here’s how we get acquainted and discover the next steps.

I recognize that your project – and you – are unlike all others. So our entire process is built to honor that reality. I use a simple sequence designed to uncover and serve each client’s needs.

Let’s Talk

Step 1: Welcome Call

We’ll get on the phone or Zoom for a free Welcome Call to chat, discuss where you are now, and where you want to go with your creative practice. During your Welcome Call we can discover a next step you can take, alone or with me. Let’s face it – creatives need to support one another!

Step 2: Creativity Coaching

Are you ready for more?

Schedule coaching sessions at regular intervals, or only when you feel the need. You’re in charge.

Regular coaching clients get a weekly check-in email from me, reminding you that your creative life is important, especially when other demands on your time are making extra noise.

As a musician, writer, editor, and arts advocate, Anne is well positioned to help her clients navigate their creative lives more skillfully. With humor and compassion, she asks thoughtful questions which prompt equally thoughtful answers. Working through complex issues together, Anne will help you set actionable goals and establish daily habits which will enrich your creative life! —Dianne Ochiltree

It all begins with a Welcome Call. We’ll talk – and together we’ll figure out what works.
