In this interview we discuss her journey from writer to writing coach and how she takes her own advice as an author. Reading out loud and listening to your own voice are fundamental to her coaching. She says that writing itself is the teacher. She encourages writers to respect their craft and master basic skills through continued writing until they reach the point where they can break the rules and follow their own intuitive journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ninaserrano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unilogue-by-VH-Perry.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5762\" width=\"170\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ninaserrano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unilogue-by-VH-Perry.jpg 265w, https:\/\/ninaserrano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unilogue-by-VH-Perry-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/ninaserrano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unilogue-by-VH-Perry-94x150.jpg 94w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In our discussion, Valerie tells about her newest work which departs from her usual handling of characters and plots. She wanted to write about a relationship between a self and a higher self without falling into interior monologue. Valerie created a form she called \u201cunilogue\u201d, as a opposed to \u201cdialogue\u201d, because the conversation exists within one person. She adopted a writing technique called <em>automatic writing<\/em> which allowed her to write intuitively. Unilogue is deeply set inside nature. In this episode of Literary Dialogs, she reads excerpts from Unilogue. As a poet I appreciate the poetic language describing beach, water, air and the interplay of these basic elements with the self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Valerie Haynes Perry&#8217;s work as a writing coach, she relies on word of mouth to let interested writers know about her on-going monthly writer&#8217;s circles. Writers find her supportive and encouraging and they recommend her to others. She maintains four on-going monthly writing circles, two are closed cohorts and two others open to new members.
