Rosanne Bane

Veteran Teaching Artist Rosanne Bane is coming out of semi-retirement to teach at The Loft Literary Center this fall. Rosanne is author of Around the Writer's Block: Using Brain Science to Solve Writer's Resistance, and Dancing in the Dragon's Den: Rekindling the Creative Fire in Your Shadow

For nearly 30 years, Rosanne served as a creativity coach, speaker, teaching artist and writer. She wrestles to balance a retirement attitude of “whatever happens is the right thing” with a writing-focused habit of showing up to play with her work in science fiction.

Rosanne says “I’m passionate about writing – my own and others’ – writing practices and the written products those practices create. I’m curious about human behavior, the brain and creativity. I’ve always wondered why it’s so hard (at times) to do what we want and love to do, why it’s so challenging (almost always) to refrain from doing what we don’t want to do and how to remedy that situation. It is my privilege and joy to share what I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) to help other writers, artists and creative people of all sorts stop feeling disappointed, frustrated and guilty about not being who we ‘should’ be and not doing what we’re ‘supposed’ to do.”

Rosanne has helped thousands of writers, artists and creative people of all sorts let go of ‘should and supposed to’ to give them the space needed to build habits that achieve professional goals and make creative dreams reality. Visit www.RosanneBane.com.
