About Me

A writer by night, by day I help other writers achieve their dreams of completing a worthy project. During a plot consultation, writers recount the scenes and events, ideas and frustrations around their stories. Throughout the process, I whisper plot parameters, offer tips on theme and nuance, rhythm and depth, tricks for layering and pacing, all with the hope of reawakening in writers the universal story form. Stories reflect the heartbeat of the universe. Writers and readers, all of us, pulse in time to this universal rhythm. I practice with the belief that the more integrated plot in writers' bodies and story structure in reader's psyches, the more satisfying the act of writing and joyful the act of reading. When time permits, I use this space to unwind after plot consultations. My hope is that the exploration of universal truths inspires you.
