Excuse Editor can help.
Tina Haapala, the president of Excuse Editor, is offering personalized coaching services to take your writing to the next level. As a "Writing Transition Coach", Tina will show you how to step over your writing blocks and transform them to building blocks.
- "Wanna-be" Writers: Tina will work with you to discover what is keeping your words from appearing on the page. The training will take you from "wanna-be writing" to "gotta-be writing!"
- "Sticky" Writers: For those sick of scraping gooey messes from the bottom of their "writing shoes", get some honest traction from the Excuse Editor. Tina will support the discovery of those sticky bits that keep your work from getting finished, accepted or read.
- "Reinvented" Writers: Life got in the way of your writing dream for a while, but now you're back! Let Tina guide you into this strange new world. If you wrote for publication in the past, a few of the rules have changed. Maybe your writing dream is brand new. Tina will teach you how to create a fresh path for your writing journey.
EXPERIENCE EXCUSE EDITOR
Excuse Editor began in 2009 with a simple mission to help other writers overcome the obstacles keeping them from writing. Tina Haapala had spent years learning about the craft and the business of writing, but her own personal roadblock was fear of submitting. Once she analyzed the tools she acquired during years of procrastination, she was able to take apart her personal roadblocks with those same tools and get her writing published. Tina began to mentor other writers and discovered she had a knack for getting to the heart of her fellow writer's issues. Now, through Excuse Editor, Tina is offering you the same opportunity. Tina will be your someone to lean on when your writing life seems to be in trouble.
Tina Haapala holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Communication and a Minor in Business. She continues to work with local businesses as a marketing specialist and consultant. This aids in her coaching for writers, as getting the word out is crucial to the business of writing.
Currently, Tina has a variety of programs to suit your writing commitment and needs. All sessions are held over the phone (some Wichita Falls, TX, clients may opt to meet in person). Each session will be designed to meet your particular questions and concerns, even if those questions include: "I don't know what questions to start with!?" A few days after each session, you will receive a follow-up email detailing the important issues from the call, helpful information to assist with your continued progress, and specific goals to keep you on track.
Instead of spending countless hours drifting in the endless sea of generalities, you owe it to yourself to anchor yourself and maximize your limited time. Take advantage of the years that created the Excuse Editor experience: Spend a few hours with someone who will guide you through the obstacles, so you don't waste your precious writing, editing, and marketing time stumbling and lost.
