Overcome distraction, doubt, and perfectionism with mindfulness tools. You’ll explore meditation techniques that support focus, emotional insight, and self-compassion so you can write with more ease and less struggle. Each session combines guided meditation, short lessons, and writing exercises you can return to anytime your creativity feels stuck.
No meditation experience necessary. Writers of all genres and levels are welcome. You’ll leave with fresh pages, renewed confidence, and a toolkit of mindful writing practices you can return to again and again.
Banish Writer's Block Forever
Tuesday, June 9, 2026 | 11 AM – 12:30 PM PT | Live Online
Hosted by April Dávila in collaboration with Gabriela Pereira of DIY MFA
In this 90-minute session, April Dávila will share the framework she uses to help writers recognize what's actually getting in their way, whether that's the inner critic, fear of being seen, burnout, perfectionism, or any of the other thought patterns that masquerade as "writer's block." You'll come away with a new vocabulary for what you're experiencing and practical tools you can apply the next time you sit down to write.
The session wraps with a live Q&A, so bring your stuckest scenes, your worst writing days, and your most stubborn doubts.
