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

WEEKS AT A GLANCE:


PART II: TURN NEGATIVE EMOTIONS INTO POSITIVE OUTCOMES (April 7 – May 5, 2017)

Week 1: Turn Fear into Creativity

When you have set up your life to support your writing, fear often kicks in because you are actually working on your project. The doubts that have held you back in the past may make a comeback or overwhelming new worries could emerge. This class will give you ideas of how to channel those fears to fuel your creativity.

Assignment: Write a short story or blog in which one of your characters—fictional or real—overcomes fear in inspirational ways. Submit to instructor for feedback and take advantage of an opportunity to share your writing with fellow students.

Week 2: A Liberating Farewell to Perfectionism

This may be the hardest thing for a writer to do because you want your creations to be flawless; you want your ability as a wordsmith to shine. This challenge offers an opportunity to become aware of and debunk your perfectionist illusions. Learn how to avoid procrastination by reframing your expectations.

Assignment: Practice imperfection through several exercises. Instructor feedback available and group support encouraged.

Week 3: What Makes You a Writer?

Many of us have been told that writing—unless you are a bestselling author—is not a “real job” or that being an artist is not for you. In this class, you will develop strategies to reclaim the writer within and without.

Assignment: Develop your writer’s statement. Submit for instructor feedback.

Week 4: The Twin Engines of Success: Patience and Persistence

Writing a long piece such as a book requires staying power. Some days, words on the page just don’t make any sense. Other days the outside world tells you that your work is not good enough. Patience and persistence help us through these tough moments. Learn how to increase those two engines of success with some time-tested tools.

Assignment: Become more patient and persistent using specific methods. Opportunity to share experiences with instructor and group.
