Your Novel-Your Way

Do you ever wonder...

"I'm a good writer. I'm creative. Why can't I finish my novel or memoir?"

Creative people have different stumbling blocks, different strengths, different struggles. If you keep getting stuck...

You are not alone. Writers sit alone in their rooms and wonder...

Why am I stuck?
Is there anyone out there to help me?

And yes, there are loads of people who "help" someone write something. They have a formula. A blueprint. A template. But unless you get blocked (and unblocked) in precisely the same way as that coach, their method is not going to help you. As a result, your creativity can feel more clogged than ever!

The Good News is You Can Write Your Book Your Way

Your own creative thinking style is the key to
how you must write, finish, and even sell your work.

I'm JULIA ROBERTS

CREATIVITY COACH, 4-TIME AUTHOR, TEDx SPEAKER

I've been there - stuck, blocked, trying, failing. I was always super creative, and a good writer, but somehow, I just couldn't get all those assets in synch long enough to write a novel. Little by little, I found the help I needed, and now I'm absolutely passionate about getting this information out to writers.

Masters of Science in Creativity
In 2014, I finished my Masters in Creativity. At first I thought I was dipping my toe back into school for the first time in 30 years - a warm-up for what I thought was the inevitable MFA. But I learned something so powerful there, that I never went for that MFA, nor do I think I need it.

The MSc was the magic elixir. This is powerful information, not normally shared with writers. (Most grads help business/R&D.)
- I had my creativity assessed, and I saw both my strengths and my struggles. I finally figured out what was "WRONG" with me AND what was utterly RIGHT about me. Empowering.
- I easily adjusted my writing process to accommodate who I am, creatively speaking. And I write the things I envision now.
And this simple notion - understanding and accepting your creative strengths and struggles, and adapting your process accordingly - is what keeps me going and what gets my clients writing again.
Certified Life Coach and Creativity Coach

Certified life coach with Martha Beck, PhD, and then finished the course in creativity coaching with Eric Maisel, PhD
Now, I help writers predict and prevent writer's block.

At DecodingCreativity.com, and on in the Write Without the Fight free FB group, I help writers deal with the phases of creativity, the thoughts and moods that prevent them from writing their best work.

This is just what I need!

I have developed an intensive coaching program to help you see and feel your way past your perennial blocks. If you want to write a novel or a memoir, this course is exactly what I learned in my Masters program, and what I've taught, coached and walked dozens of serious writers through to get their writing back on its feet - and their heads back in the game.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH JULIA

Testimonials

“One of the best decisions I made was to hire Julia Roberts as my writing coach.”

“For years, I have had numerous ideas floating around in my head waiting and this year I decided to do something. One of the best decisions I made was to hire Julia Roberts as my writing coach and as a result I have finished a screenplay and at least half of my first book complete, all while running my production company. She helped me dismantle the stories I have been telling myself that would normally keep me from writing“

Susan Koziak

President, Koziak Productions

“I was holding myself back.”

“I've always had the sense I was holding myself back. And it was frustrating. Years and years of therapy gave me less insight into how I create, than working with Julia.”

Maria Archer

Artist

“In 6 short weeks, Julia helped me get unstuck and unstoppable!”

"I was burnt out! I got to a point where I felt overwhelmed and on the verge of giving up! But enter Julia! Julia has the uncanny ability to hone in on 'what ails you' with laserlight precision. And, she does it with humor which will have you laughing as you progress through those dark valleys of self-doubt and the poor-me's. Julia gets 5 stars in my book!”
