COURSE DESCRIPTION: What prevents you from starting a project? Often it is a lack of structure for writing—both in terms of the specific goals and the physical reality of writing. This class will help you learn techniques to overcome structural obstacles that may block you from working on your manuscript.
Getting Started on a Project will guide you in restructuring your life to support your writing. Each lesson contains exercises and/or action steps to strengthen your commitment and ability to write today and for the long term. Instructor feedback is available for each assignment and experiences can be shared with fellow students via a closed online forum.

Praise for Renate:
My most apparent growth as a writer was setting up a writing routine and honoring it. Renate helped me by identifying how I was giving it up and not sticking to my schedule. I now 'work,' as in write, from 8:00am to 1:00pm Monday through Friday. ~ V. Sonne, Globe, AZ
Renate has enhanced and changed my life profoundly. For example, I am sitting here today, writing Chapter 4, after teaching AND having completed grocery shopping and it’s only 3:30pm. I’ve never ever been so organized! ~ Nuala C., New York, NY
Working with Renate is extremely valuable. The accountability and encouragement keeps me on track towards joyfully living the best version of my life. I have concrete strategies for walking, with joy, down the path to my dreams. She is both extremely skilled and compassionate. I highly recommend her services to anyone interested in reaching their potential while fully living their life. ~ Natalie Watkins, San Antonio, TX
Praise for Renate’s latest book, Beyond Procrastination™: How to Stop Postponing Life:
Beyond Procrastination is a manual for life. ~ Carlette Christmas, Fox 48 and KAYT
This book is one to keep by your bedside. ~ Eleanor Bobrow, WDIY Public Radio
While this book is written for the frustrated, chronic procrastinator, it will be helpful to anyone who needs some help getting started or reenergized to continue a project to completion. ~ Jane Anderson, bizcatalyst360.com
And for those 20-25% of the population who consider themselves chronic procrastinators, this is an undeniably useful book: it will help readers uncover their own delay patterns and develop effective coping mechanisms. ~ Patricia Gale, Blogcritics.org
