Writing Processes and Systems

Systems and Processes for Writers
Do you feel like you have too much to do, and not enough time? Do you wonder how you’re going to manage writing, and marketing, and all the other things (family, job, etc.) that need attention? Are you feeling stressed, stuck, or overwhelmed?
As a neurodivergent writer, routines are hard to stick with, but they’re also the only thing that keeps me on track and moving forward. If you’ve found yourself stuck, if you’d like to be more productive, or have a more sustainable, balanced writing life, this workshop can help you explore:
• how you work
• what actually works for you
• and how to create systems/processes that are simple and effective!
