From Quill to Sword:
Slay Your Writing Demons,
Forge Your Words


I see you. You're a writer.


Even if you don’t always feel like one.

That voice whispering, “Who am I to do this?”

Yeah, that’s Imposter Syndrome. He’s an executioner.

The Inner Critic? An unfair judge.

And perfectionism’s role? That would be the juggling jester.

Then there’s real-world chaos:

Time. Work. Family. Life.

They can rip pages right out of your book, leaving you empty.

The battle is real—but the war isn’t over.

You just need the write armor.

And the right blacksmith.

I’m here to help you forge a sword from your quill

so you can slay your writing demons.

Forge ahead, Wordsmith!

Rebecca E. Schmuck, professional book coach and writing mentor

🖋️ Who am I?

I’m Rebecca E. Schmuck, The Write Author.


Master wordsmith. Creative coach.

Fierce defender of stories—

whether they’re published or still hiding in your notebook.

Helping writers write,

with honesty, heart, humor . . . and a red pen.

Coaching, editing, and creative support for all writers, no matter what page you're on.

In case you didn't catch it earlier, my name is Rebecca E. Schmuck, but please call me Rebecca.

(It would be weird if you addressed me by my full name.)

I have been writing for over 50 years and truly love all things written. I still get giddy over a beautifully crafted sentence!

My greatest joy?

Helping other writers fall in love with the process, too.

Whether you're stuck in a plot hole, wrestling with writer’s block, or searching for structure and clarity, I’m your creative partner.

I don’t overwrite your voice. I don’t force rules for the sake of rules (except grammar—sorry, not sorry).

And I treat every word you write with the same respect I’d want for mine—even when I suggest you strike it down.

So, let's forge ahead!
