Welcome to The Mindful Pen, your literary partner in crime.

I used to train AI how to write, and the experience taught me that I’d much rather pour my time and energy into helping real people.  I’m here to help make your writing journey meaningful, productive, and maybe even a little subversive. I’m not offering to get your screenplay to a producer or to tell you if your poetry is any good. There are more than enough services out there that do a great job at editing and revising. What I am here for is to mentor you to create a life context in which you and your writing can thrive. I’ll talk you off the ledge when you feel like you can’t take one more rejection. I’ll help you see writer’s block as an opportunity, not an obstacle. I’ll help you take that new direction you’ve been mulling over. Or I can just let you bounce ideas off me and see where they land.

If you’re happy with just watching the videos, that’s great. But the Mindful Pen is also committed to providing one-on-one online coaching to new and aspiring writers. At the Mindful Pen, all you need do to be eligible for free online consultations is to sign up for membership with a small monthly subscription fee. And even if you don’t need coaching, subscribe anyway. You’ll be helping other writers get the coaching they need. I look forward to being a part of your writing journey. If you’re a new or aspiring writer and you’d like to join the waiting list for free-with-membership online coaching, just click the link.

If this helps, please like, follow, and share. And remember, keep on reading, keep on writing, and feel free to mess up.
