Gabriela Pereira: How to Survive and Succeed as a Writer (without breaking your heart or losing your mind)

Here’s something no one tells you: survival (and also success) as a writer has little to do with talent or technique, it’s all about mindset and attitude. The most effective way to up your game is to understand yourself more fully, both in relation to your work and within the context of your real life. Whether you want to pursue a career in writing or you just want to strengthen your creative muscles, the key is honoring both your creative heart and your creative mind.

In this talk, Gabriela debunks some major myths about creativity, shares key mindset shifts that will help you get past blocks and get back to writing, and walks you through an essential technique that will change your creative process forever. You’ll leave this session energized and inspired, but also with the tools and techniques you can apply to your creative work right away.
