We may have written for days or for years, but we should never stop learning. It is with that in mind that I decided to join the “A Heart For Writing” group coaching group led by by Joan Raymond. I have taken many classes from Joan; however, this is not just a “how to” class.  It takes the process much further; delving into the mindset and emotions behind the writing, or lack thereof.

I have learned enough that I am continuing beyond my initial parameter dates. Every week I receive new insights, encouragement, and a hard look at my progress forward or a clearer understanding of what is holding me back.

I would highly recommend this membership to anyone looking to expand their skills and become a more consistent and connected writer.

Joan has created a safe environment where it’s easy to share feelings that may have been hidden for years. Nothing is too silly, sad, or insignificant to share.

Support is the most important takeaway. I can’t recommend Joan Raymond enough! If you are in a rut, she knows how to throw you the life preserver you need.
