How To Tackle Writer's Block is a one day seminar for anyone who likes to write, regardless of genre, type, or typical length. Writer's block happens to all of us!

You know the scene.

Saturday morning, coffee made, document open, cursor blinking. You reread the last thing you wrote, delete two sentences, type one, delete that too, and suddenly you're reorganizing the kitchen.

Writer's block doesn't care what you write, how long you have been writing, or how much you love it. It comes for the novelists, short story writers, poets, the journalers, and the women with that one essay burning a hole in their Notes app.

Here is the good news: the Block is not a talent problem, and it is definitely not a you problem. It's a signal...and once you learn to read it, you can answer it.

If you're interested in understanding Writer's block, what it means to experience it, and how you can best tackle it when it comes, this is the class for you.

In this two-hour seminar, we'll break down what Writer's block actually is, the sneaky forms it likes to take, and what it means when it shows up in your writing life. Then we get practical: real strategies for meeting the Block instead of feeding it, with writing prompts at the end to put those strategies to work.

You'll be encouraged to improve your writing skills and simply have fun with with a virtual room full of writers who know "The Block" personally.
