We’ll explore the role of author mindset as vital to publishing success. How does a writer keep on the path to publication? We’ll spend time exploring new ways to combat what stops us from writing including: procrastination, perfectionism, imposter syndrome and feeling overwhelmed with creative ideas. This workshop draws on the latest neuroscience research on creativity, motivation, attention, habit-stacking and resiliency. For emerging and established writers.
