Do you love to write but hate what happens when you sit down at the screen or page and nothing comes?
In this half-day workshop you will learn practical strategies to jumpstart your writing and overcome writer's block in order to reach your writing goals. Whether you are just beginning to write or are an experienced author, this workshop will help you reenergize and set writing goals.
Relevant to writers of all genres, we'll discuss specific strategies designed to lift the quantity and quality of your writing, particularly when you are stuck and can't seem to write at all. Some topics included are establishing the "writing habit," generating ideas, using prompts, and managing writer's block in general as well as during the revision process.
The workshop is based on writing strategies culled from dozens of books and online resources; a comprehensive handout is included. In addition to our discussion, there will be three ten minute exercises, so bring your notebook and get ready to set yourself on the perfect writer's path.
