Welcome!
Do you love writing but don’t know where to start? If so, then you’re in the right place. Founded in the summer of 2020, the Present Active Writer is a hub for all things writing life. It was built out of my love of the craft and nearly a decade of experience as a writing mentor, coach, and tutor.
Present Active Writer Blog
If you have questions about how to make time for writing, how to find inspiration, or how to stop thinking and just start, then my blog is the place for you. My Present Active Writer blog is the best place to find resources on the writing life. Posts range from articles on goal setting to advice from famous writers and how to track word count without getting lost in the numbers. Through my blog, I share insights from my own experience and from my extensive research on how to build a successful writing life!
Hi! I’m Olivia Couture (aka, the Present Active Writer)
I’m a leather notebook fanatic, fancy keyboard enthusiast, and part-time coffee connoisseur. I have enough pens to fill every surface of my home with writing, and if I had it my way, I’d spend every day in a room filled with old books. When I’m not writing stories, I’m either reading, writing music, or playing tennis.
Books are my safe place and teaching writing is my passion!
For me, this year is all about CREATING. I’ve committed to writing one story a week (which I will post on My Writing page) and taking the time to build a life that fulfills me.
I want to help you do the same, and I can’t wait to share my journey with you!
