New Workshop: Develop Your Writing Dream…
Have you ‘always dreamt’ of becoming a writer? Have teachers and others remarked on your writing potential?
If so, you’ll have a better shot at achieving it at this upcoming workshop.
What they probably didn’t tell you is that becoming a writer depends only partly on the quality of your work. The rest depends on issues like how you handle success, ‘failure,’ the stops and starts of the creative process and how noisy your inner critic is.
In our new workshop: Develop Your Writing Dream, learn what makes a writer successful (besides ‘craft’).
Don’t join the ranks of writers whose careers stalled out because of perfectly treatable and common writer’s pitfalls like:
- writing blocks,
- hyper-criticism,
- perfectionism,
- procrastination,
- inconsistent motivation,
- high expectations,
- performance issues,
- fear of success,
- fear of failure,
- personalization of rejection and the
- blank page syndrome.
Develop Your Writing Dream is a six-week introductory workshop for writers who wan to take writing “more seriously. ” This workshop lays the groundwork for your success by teaching you how to successfully handle the feelings and issues that stump most writers .
In the workshop, you’ll be able to :
- Discuss your goals and aspirations,
- Talk about the challenges you face now,
- Examine common myths and beliefs about writing and publishing and
- identify myths that may be bogging down your writing process,
- Discuss how to develop a lifestyle that supports your writing,
- Nurture a positive and healthy relationship with your writing,
- Use writing exercises to practice new approaches to writing issues,
- Understandow these new approaches are absolutely essential to moving forward.
- Build the skills, strengths and attitudes that will sustain your writing practice.
Develop Your Writing Dream is an experiential professional development workshop for relatively new writers who want to write more and enjoy it more and/ or who are considering developing a writing career. The workshop offers a supportive, non-competitive and safe place to explore needs and concerns candidly. Grow, gain confidence, hone your writer’s identity and receive supportive feedback that will assist you in your whole writing career.
