the desire path

 

a desire path represents the most direct or easily navigated route between an origin and a destination

When I learned of it, the concept of desire paths took such strong hold in me. The idea that a path that is architected for us doesn't always suit our needs, or, actively impedes our journey. You’ll usually see desire paths sprouting from or across perfectly paved hardscapes, and I can't imagine applying a more fitting metaphor to the process of navigating book-writing, the publishing industry, or really any creative endeavor.

So, what if your path to writing, publishing, creating, and expressing yourself isn’t one that’s been prescribed to you but one you’ve yet to forge for yourself?

I’d love to help you do just that with The Desire Path prep session—a 90-minute 1:1 coaching session designed to help you get your bearings and shape a practical, desirable path for your writing project.

why start here?

you see yourself in any or all of the following

  • you have a big, beautiful idea (or several!) for a book or other writing project, and you want to prioritize making it a reality

  • you’re open to shaping your own path and making creative decisions that are right for you, not everyone else

  • you have some writing done and you’re confident about the what and why—but you’re not sure about the how of getting it published

  • you know you’re ready but you have no idea where to start or what you’ll need along the way

what you’ll get

a 90-minute 1:1 coaching session focused on

  • finding clarity about your project goals and a framework for decision-making along the way
