This workshop is a chance to spend three hours together where I can tell you everything I know about writing, and some of what I’ve learned about life during Covid College.

I’ll discuss how to get started, making a commitment to sticking with it, writing a terrible draft, editing, creative freedom and discipline, tricks and hacks to help you get some work done every day, and the hidden blessings of our year in quarantine.

As always, we will leave lots of time for your questions, on everything from getting published, to getting your hope and faith in life back.
