Seven Secrets of Productive Writers
My new Productivity Catalyst kicked off this weekend, and we are going to have a blast!
It's not to late for you to register for this action-packed 8-week course.
The "seven secrets of productive writers" that I'll be revealing week by week aren't really secrets at all, of course. They're based on extensive scholarly research and my decades of experience working with academic and professional writers. I'll show you how to:
Take Time
Identify your personal time traps and acquire a toolbox of powerful techniques for spending time, befriending time, and bending time to your will.Make Space
Design a nourishing physical and emotional environment where you can write new words, invite new ideas, and delight in new knowledge.Find Flow
Discover the varieties of optimal experience as you try out new rhythms, rituals, and routines for finding and maintaining flow.Cultivate Craft
Diagnose your weak points and sharpen your style as we focus on the pleasures, frustrations, and challenges of wordcraft.Cherish Community
Identify, establish, and/or revive a supportive community of writers committed to nurturing each other’s writing practice.Spark Joy
Infuse your writing with pleasure and passion by reframing your negative emotions about the writing process and reclaiming your positive ones.Bring Balance
Integrate these principles into your own everyday writing practice through guided experiments, online interactions, and live small-group coaching.
