Whether you’re already published, or an aspiring writer of any level, The New Year is a powerful time to check in with yourself and reassess what you want from your writing life. This course focuses on creating positive change, developing a habit, and building momentum on a goal, with very clear, very practical ideas for making sure "writing a novel" or "finishing your book" isn't a new year's resolution you just keep making year after year, but actually accomplish.

Do you feel stuck? Do you feel restless about wanting to up your game but aren't really sure what to do or how to start? Or, maybe, you're just looking to focus and relocate your mojo?  "Leap and the net will appear" can be easily misinterpreted as, "Oh, just do what you want, and someone will swoop in to rescue you" but the real secret is that you weave the nets yourself---and taking a leap is what jump-starts you into action.

A series of exercises will help you articulate what you really want and how you want to feel, and provide small, doable steps to get momentum going. We’ll look at what stops us from risking change and how to overcome those obstacles. Let’s harness the energy of the New Year to not only keep our writing dreams strong and limber but keep seducing our Muse throughout the entire new year.
