About this course: Have you got a piece of writing that you're 'meant' to be doing but feel that you're not making enough progress? That you 'should' have done it by now? Or that you don't know where to start or even if it's any good anyway? In this two hour online workshop, we'll focus on WHY you're not writing at the moment and how we can manage our thoughts and feelings to get more done and enjoy the process.
