Writing To Transform Your Life
Not ONLY for Writers
People often ask me, "How do you manage to achieve so much?" Here's my secret: Over the past 13 years, I've developed a process that has supported me in writing ten books, building a successful coaching business, and getting physically strong for the first time ever. This past summer, I've worked to sharpen this amazing tool. Now I am ready to share it with you. Here are the details.

When: October 6, 13, 20, 27 @ 4:00 PM central
Where: On the Phone!
Who? You need to take this class if you feel like there must be more to life. You are restless with life as it is. Maybe you've read a few books and tried to journal. Perhaps you have talked with your partner or friend about these feelings. So far, nothing you've tried has really worked. This class will provide journaling and life-organization tools to support you in discovering what you want and transforming your life.
Why: Because you have wild and wonderful things to achieve with your life and this class will support you in making it happen RIGHT NOW!

I've written nine published books, a master's thesis, and more than one hundred articles. I've been editing books and articles since 1994. And I have coached many writers through their own writing projects since 2000. At the same time, I've developed a successful coaching practice, participated in a regular exercise and strength-training program, read more than 80 books a year, and participate in a life that I love. People often ask me, "How do you do it?"

I've been doing it for a long time. Look at my writing career: I wrote my master's thesis in one year, while doing the graduate coursework, teaching, babysitting, cleaning houses, and trying to have a life. Nearly every book I wrote with my husband was completed in less than three months, often in as little time as six weeks. In the fall of 2004, my friend Sue Lang and I wrote a book in nine days. In 2005-6, I wrote my first solo book--a 500-pager--in just over five months.

In every Right Now! Event, I'll teach you the tools I have used for more than 15 years to envision, structure, and complete projects. In addition, I bring the wisdom I've gained from earning two masters degrees and a coaching degree, reading more than 1500 books, working as a spiritual leader for 18 years, and parenting two children. Listen to what participants and clients say about my work:

Rochelle Melander's book coaching dropped into my life at the perfect time! As the published author of four books, with two more underway, I know firsthand how critical it is to spend high-quality time alone with one’s writing project if you really want to make headway on your work. Rochelle’s workshops contain the finest ingredients all writers know they need to get going, or make progress, on a project, and the fact that it’s affordable is an amazing plus! Every writer needs the thoughtful questions, editing help, and accountability and Rochelle provides all of that and more.
—Caroline Adams Miller, author and coach

Rochelle Melander has been an asset to me as a writing coach. Rochelle helped me complete my outline and organizational structure for my book. Her coaching style is persuasive and enthusiastic, yet her critical eye is crucial to making the changes necessary for my book to be a seller. —Wendy J.
