You will learn:
- what lies behind the excuses you can make for not finding the time to write;
- to identify the moments in the day when you can write, and how to utilise them;
- strategies to counter procrastination;
- what we really mean by ‘writer’s block’ and how to abolish it;
- to let go of the idea that you need to be inspired before you can write – writing creates its own momentum.
