Testimonials "Sharon helped me to attain my goal of getting to the end of the first draft of my novel, something I'd been trying to do for years. Her tactics to keep me on course were many and varied, but I especially liked the way she also tried to get me to find the solutions myself. It was great training. I will be able to use these resources for attaining life goals in the future, and some of her techniques are now part of my regular writing routine." ~~ Judith Clay "Your coaching helped me overcome many of the psychological blocks to writing which probably stop many beginning writers in their tracks.
