New Seminar: Planning to Get Your Writing Done, with Phoenix Kelley

Our new seminar is now up, talking about setting goals, common mistakes made when goal-setting and managing those goals going forward.

You can get the audio seminar and worksheet here, with the transcript to follow shortly:


The seminar covers:
  • Setting tangible, measurable, reasonable goals
  • Making plans to suit the time you have available
  • Methods for keeping track of projects
  • Dealing with feelings of overwhelm or burn-out

Chatroom Writing Hour: Wednesday 8 - 9pm 

We're having another Writing Hour in the Chatroom this week. Whether or not you're taking part in the Winter Writing Challenge, do come along and join us.

It'll be at 8pm - 9pm (UK time) as usual, on Wednesday (28th), in the Chatroom:


We'll start off by saying what we'll be working on, then we'll go and write for most of the hour. If you can't make it at the beginning, just come along when you can, and we'll catch up with you at the end. :-)
