Writing Coaching Phone Calls for Writers Who Feel Stuck
Get Unstuck in Your Writing—Fast
If you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next, this is a space to talk it through.
These one-on-one writing coaching sessions are designed to give you clear direction, practical next steps, and real momentum.
No Zoom.
No prep.
Just focused, honest writing help.
What is a puttering call?
A writing coaching phone call where we work through your writing challenge in real time.
You bring the question, idea, or stuck place. I help you sort it out.
While we talk, I’ll be moving around my home—tidying, pacing, making tea. So don’t be alarmed if you hear dishes rattling.
Why this format?
I spend a lot of time on screens—and I don’t do my best thinking there.
I think better when I’m moving. When I’m walking from room to room, tidying, making tea, letting ideas unfold naturally.
These calls are designed to reflect that.
By taking this off-screen:
The conversation is more focused
There’s less pressure to perform
It feels more natural and productive
You don’t need to be “on.” You don’t need to be prepared in a polished way.
You just need to show up and talk.
For many writers, this makes it easier to access ideas, work through blocks, and think more clearly.
Why book a call?
This is a good fit if you’re looking for help with writing and:
Have an idea but don’t know what to do with it
Are in the middle of writing and feel stuck
Want to write but have no clear ideas
Want to start a blog or Substack but aren’t sure where to begin
Want guidance on how to write a children’s book
Feel overwhelmed by a draft and need help moving forward
Struggle with consistency or motivation
Want support from a writing coach to clarify your direction
If you’ve been searching for how to get unstuck writing or help with writing ideas, this is exactly what these sessions are for.
What you’ll leave with.
You won’t leave with a finished piece, but you will leave with:.
Clear direction
Practical next steps
Honest, thoughtful feedback
Renewed momentum

Getting unstuck often starts with talking things through. A writing coaching session can help you clarify your ideas, identify what’s holding you back, and take a concrete next step.
Why Work With Erica?
Writing is personal. Your stories, your voice, and your inner world deserve a coach who understands both the craft and the emotional landscape of creating. My approach is rooted in safety, clarity, and compassion—because meaningful writing can only happen when you feel supported, seen, and grounded.
You’ll be guided, not pushed.
I don’t believe in harsh critiques, rigid rules, or productivity-at-all-costs. Instead, I offer thoughtful, strengths-focused guidance that helps you grow without overwhelm.
You get support that meets you where you are.
Whether you’re writing for the first time, returning after a long pause, or deep in a project, I tailor our work to your needs, pace, and goals. Your writing journey is unique—you deserve support that honours that.
You’ll build safety, confidence, and trust in your voice.
As an author, teacher, writing mentor, and speaker, I’ve spent years helping people write from a place of emotional steadiness. Together, we create the conditions where your voice can expand and your creativity can breathe.
Your stories matter—and I treat them that way.
I listen deeply. I notice what’s working. I pay attention to the heart of your writing. And I reflect it back to you with honesty, encouragement, and care.
You won’t be doing it alone.
Writing can feel isolating—but it doesn’t have to. When we work together, you have someone in your corner: cheering you on, helping you navigate stuck places, celebrating your progress, and holding space for your words.
