Tame Your Writing Demons (Kill Writer's Block)

Demons possess every writer's imagination and writing process, aka Writer's Block. "Famous" writers have learned to harness 'demon energy' for creativity, rather than waste energy trying to defeat those demons. We'll lure your demon out of its dark corner so you can name it, tame it and get it to work for you instead of against you. Bring a short description or object that symbolizes your demon.

Face Your Writing Challenges

The Writer's Six Ps will empower you to overcome any writing challenge with confidence and ease. Bring a challenge you are facing with a current writing project (fiction, nonfiction, business or personal).

Manage the Mom-Writer Challenge

Just like J.K. Rowling, Mary Higgins Clark and Anna Quindlen, you can keep your writing dreams afloat even as you tackle the daily challenge of raising a family and otherwise having a life. This program focuses The Writer's Six Ps on the needs of "the writing parent." Bring a writing-parenting challenge you are facing, now.
