It’s an amazing feeling when inspiration strikes - it seems like we can
hardly type fast enough to get all that brilliance from our brains to the
page. But to make it as a writer, you have to teach yourself to write when
you aren’t inspired as well. In this workshop we will focus on practical
ways to get your brain moving when it feels like it’s stuck in park.
