Good for you...good for them. Maybe some really great writers will come from being taught by a master of the trade.

Good luck with this. Teaching is tough but it is going to be fun I just
know and it seems to me that most of the group are really beginners. nice to help them and maybe one or two will become sepcial writers. Never know.

Getting a sense of the path
can get people walking down it. I hope that's what happens, anyway!

I can imagine that meeting and the interface among you...
Interface -- funny word I'd never have used in the pre-internet days as a substitute for talking. It sounds like a very yeasty and productive atmosphere.

Naut,
If someone wants to write, and is willing to pay for my time to help them sort out the inertia thing, I am qualified to help with that, too.

I think that's an excellent idea, and a very good start. I wonder if there are coaches that will not so much show you how to write, but who'll get you to overcome inertia and to write at all...
And this reminds me that I had a lecture for my students on how to read, i.e. how to approach a text...

You are already writing. I know, I saw your blog--there were words in it,
and you only get those from writing.

I wish I had the funds for a writing coach
Then maybe I would sit myself down and actually WRITE!
