Writing a Book in a Month

Saturday, October 18th
10 – 12 EST 
ONLINE OR IN PERSON 
You’ve heard the advice a million times: You can’t edit a blank page. Write every day. Write your first draft badly.
Easier said than done, right? But writing a first draft quickly can unlock key aspects of your writing practice and help you discover your strengths as a writer. In this workshop you’ll learn techniques to write fast, to write consistently, and to finish the month with a complete draft that can be revised into something publishable. Instructor Libby Waterford writes all her first drafts in about six weeks and publishes three to four novels a year. Join her for this energizing and encouraging workshop and learn how writing faster and more consistently can unlock your creative unconscious and help you get to “The End” of your story.
