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 Write 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.

Success Stories from
Write Now! Retreat Participants
|
Rochelle Melander is not only a
gifted writer developing her own
ideas, she is also someone with
skill to help other writers find
their voice. As a University faculty
member with a Ph.D, I have learned
that I need someone who can
understand the spirit and content of
what I want to write about in my
particular field. Rochelle’s
coaching style and skills attended
to my voice and ideas and worked to
clarify and develop these ideas. The
retreat also offered practical steps
in overcoming some of the roadblocks
that keep me from writing.
—Jan
Ewing, PhD |

[The retreat] gave me inspiration
in several forms: this included you,
Rochelle, reminding us that if we
write three pages a day, at the end
of year, we'll have a book! That was
the kind of "bite-able bite" that I
needed to hear. It put perspective
on my feeling of hopelessness that I
would EVER get a book done. That it
seems "do-able" is a great mental
leap for me, and I thank you for
pointing that out.
—Ingrid Huebner, Fall 2006 Write
Now! Participant |

I LOVED having time to myself and
time to write. It was wonderful to
have a coach affirm my dream and the
next phase in life. I wrote quite a
bit, and it made me realize that I
can eventually finish this book if I
just give myself the time and
permission to write.
—Anne Noyes, Fall 2006 Write Now!

Well, where do I begin? I
appreciated having a weekend
committed to writing. The
setting was great! And the
conversation even better! I
learned great skills to
assist me in making writing
a daily habit. I look
forward to the next event!

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. Terwelp,
