Do you want to make this your year to commit to writing but find it hard to stick to a routine? Do you feel sabotaged by self-doubt? Have you struggled to finish long-term writing projects? Do you want to feel more confident in your writing process? Through some gentle and fun exercises, we will explore roadblocks to writing and learn how to overcome them. We'll set intentions and make a plan for building a writing practice that allows us to achieve these goals. This is an introductory 2-hour workshop for writers at every level and stage of their writing process. Come with an open mind, your favorite pen, and a notebook if you have one (if you don't, we'll have one for you).
