Hi to everyone who was just at the webinar! I noticed a question that I didn't get to answer about my own transition and how I made my way from being an academic political scientist to setting up my business as a leadership coach/consultant. I'd be…
This post has certainly given me food for thought! Gosh, I still have Erin Pizzy's, Scream Quietly Or The Neighbours Will Hear, on my shelves! No offense to that wonderful woman but I bought it in the 70's. I'm going to give away a few at a time. I…
HI Shari,
I am interested in hearing you speak, I have been writing on different subjects for awhile, although not getting paid. I know there is some support on the web such as Elance and other sites in which you have lay money out first before you…
I'm interested! How do I sign up?
Hi Essayists —
I wanted to tell you about my webinar coming up on March 3, called “Building Your Writing Business.” It is self standing, but also a follow up to my webinar “Becoming a Writing Coach/Consultant” that I did last October.

I've been...slowly...reviewing my shelves over the past year and sending them out using BookMooch. The beauty of BookMooch is that you get points for sending a book away (for the cost of Media Mail postage) and you can request a book from another pe…

Oh what an excellent post! I'm just starting to very slightly get a grip on this idea - mainly under pressure from the idea that I'm heading to Australia for a year to spend time with my husband's family, and whatever hapless individual winds up hou…
Thank you, Shari, for such a thoughtful post.
As a sidenote, as Cris' comment here reminds me, one person's discarded books (qua sense of self) are another's treasure, and trigger for reinvention. How cool would it be to establish a book exchange s…
Interesting. I clean out my bookshelves once or twice a year, but I realized as I read your blog that I've been hanging on to a certain part of my past--that is, my life as a yoga teacher. I stopped teaching two years ago when I found that it interf…
I spent a good part of last weekend clearing my shelves of books to give away to Good Will. This was long overdue, but until that moment, I had been unable to do it, even though i haven't touched many of those books for years, if ever. At least 85%…

Many writers are asking the questions: how can I continue to do the work I love in a new environment, one in which so many of the rules have changed? How might I need to reinvent myself to do this? How might I develop new income streams?

Clearing the Shelves
I spent a good part of last weekend clearing my shelves of books to give away to Good Will. This was long overdue, but until that moment, I had been unable to do it, even though i haven't touched many of those books for years, if ever. At least 85% of my wall of books was devoted to past professional eras --a vestige of sorts, of my life as an academic specialist on international relations and the former Soviet Union. I realized that while I have clearly moved on, and haven't worked in that area… Continue

Sandy Ackers said… - Thanks for the inspiring webinar today, Shari. I've only recently begun thinking about expanding my business to coaching as well as writing, and your presentation clarified where I need to go from here. I'm excited about this new challenge!

Victoria Sandbrook said… - Hi Shari,
I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful webinar! I had to leave just as you started Q and A, but you've inspired me to pursue new and profitable paths with my skills as a writer. There will be many hours of mulling and thinking and planning before I get anything underway, but I'm looking forward to it.
Many many thanks,
Victoria S.

I just read a couple of posts of your blog and it seems that you are a very keen observer and question the changes of this world and want to discuss it even further to judge if its finally good for this unsettling and ever changing world.
