Work In Progress – Getting Organized and Setting Goals

Writing is exciting and hard work; it is also frustrating, lonely, energizing, thrilling and overwhelming. It’s easy to lose our way, in longer projects especially, and sometimes it is just hard to find the time to dedicate to them. In this workshop we will discuss strategies and reasonable goal setting, ways to bust through writing blocks and stuck places, and provide you with time and support to just write or plan out what needs to happen next. As Ray Bradbury said, “You only fail if you stop writing.” Let’s make sure you don’t.

Note: Because this workshop fills every year, anyone choosing this, who has already taken any previous version twice, will be automatically waitlisted and should select another workshop as their first choice."
