      <image:title>Fire Up Your Writing Practice - THIS IS NOT A PIPE DREAM.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This kind of confidence, inspired action, creative nourishment is available to you. It can be your reality every day. I can testify to it because I discovered how to access my creative zone every day, and it has changed my life. For too long, I struggled with lack of confidence in my writer self. I blocked my progress with limiting beliefs. I let people tell me I wasn’t a good enough writer. I quit my journey. I threw away dozens of writing projects. I told myself other things were more important. I took negative feedback personally.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Fire Up Your Writing Practice - About your coach.</image:title>
      <image:caption>KATE JOHNSTON was born on Cape Cod, and raised in rural New Hampshire where nature and wildlife stirred her imagination. She knew she wanted to be a professional writer when she was about seven years old and wrote a story about a good wolf. Married with two children, she writes fiction at four in the morning, the best time of day for writing without interruptions. Her work can be found in Wayfaring, Compass Points: Stories from Seacoast Authors, The Greensilk Journal, Wolf Warriors, Concord Monitor, Northeast Wolf Coalition, and her blog. A published author, Kate runs a story coaching business where she helps aspiring authors navigate the often confusing and intimidating writing journey by teaching them how to tap into their natural writing forces so they can write successfully with confidence, joy, and rumbling creativity. She teaches creative writing to kids in after-school enrichment programs and has published a fundraising book project called Dare to be a Voice, featuring local students’ short fiction focusing on environmental issues. All proceeds from sales of Dare to be a Voice are donated to non-profit organizations. Her motivational coaching style inspired her Crafting Story series, writing guides that prove all it takes to be a successful writer is belief, hard work, heart, and a little bit of ferocity. Kate lives in Dover, New Hampshire with her husband, two children, an English setter, two cats, and assorted wildlife. She loves to read, explore nature, watch Disney films, bake ooey-gooey desserts, and stick up for endangered wilderness. And purposely write fragments.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Published Books - THE REVISING WRITER’S GUIDE TO DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING Developmental editing is a critical step in the book creation process but often it feels like you’re two inches tall and you’re expected to set the dinner table for the Jolly Green Giant. How do you know if the foundation is solid? Did you do enough worldbuilding? Are your characters well-rounded and believable? What is the balance of exposition to scene? This massive aspect of editing is so much more than just shifting passages around and cutting Little Darlings. You need to make sure this is the book you wanted to write and you need to dive deep to be sure you got it right. That means dealing with areas like concepts, events, images, characters, plot, and plausibility. That dinner table isn't going to set itself and you can’t set it until you understand how each major storytelling element plays out in your book, if that’s what you had intended, and whether or not they all work well together to create an engrossing read.</image:title>

      <image:title>Positively Creative Bundle - The Book. // Have you ever had the feeling your creative life just isn’t working? That no matter how much you try to finish a project or feel confident about the work you’re doing, that you’re wasting your time or that you’re just not good enough? What if your self-doubt, fear, and anxiety could actually be transformed to motivation, courage, faith, and joy? Can you imagine what your creative life might look like then? Mindset coach and author Kate Johnston wants to help you release the negative thoughts that are holding you back so that you can live the creative life of your dreams.  After giving up on writing and trying to fill that hole with other pursuits, she realized that she was still lost, unfulfilled, and fearful.  Her creative comeback from rock-bottom was self-motivated and based on her newfound belief that to make any kind of change in our external lives we have to start inside first. Drawing from her personal well of insight and experiences, Kate shows you how to tap into your own forces of strength, courage, and self-belief so you can formulate a positive creativity mindset. Positively Creative serves as a source of encouragement, light, and direction as you forge ahead with your creative journey.</image:title>

      <image:title>Online Writing Courses - GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER</image:title>
      <image:caption>Learn how to build a solid story foundation with plot, character, and theme. I won’t lie—story development is freaking hard. It’s hard for the newbie writer as well as the experienced writer. Each project comes with its own set of challenges, which means that writers need to adjust and pivot and be willing to reconfigure what they already know about the craft. What never changes, though, are the fundamental basics of each story element. If you are feeling overwhelmed or lost with your story, and you’re wondering if you need to take another look at structure, this is the course for you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Online Writing Courses - MINDFULNESS FOR YOUR BEST CREATIVE SELF</image:title>
