Description:
I Don’t Brake for Writer’s Block: Effective Techniques to Stay in High Gear
If you have something to write, the next step is to sit in a chair and write it. This workshop will help you achieve that goal, while maintaining your creative flow. Jerry Waxler, author and self-help strategist will show you how to tailor your actions and attitudes to help you achieve writing success.
You’ll learn to:
- Harness inspiration and perspiration
- Talk yourself out of anxiety and into self confidence.
- Find a more dynamic way to visualize your job
- Transform your readers from judges to cheerleaders
- Expand your “writing energy toolkit”
The workshop will give you insights into these four aspects of energetic writing:
- Action: Use habits, schedules, dancing and doodling to keep writing and stay creative.
- Attitude: Negative attitudes slow you down. To pick up speed, adjust your attitude.
- Story: The story you tell about yourself has an enormous impact on your momentum, but few of us have been trained to improve our self-story.
- Going public: Embrace your audience and make peace with gatekeepers so you can let your public energize you.
