Finally Write the Parts You’ve Been Avoiding
Break through whatever is holding you back in your writing with our live, 4-hour workshop designed to help you finish your story confidently—without burnout.
Live on Zoom | May 24, 2025 | 11am-3pm Pacific Time
You know the parts I'm talking about...
The scenes you keep avoiding.
The one that cuts too close to home.
Maybe they mirror a painful loss.
Or maybe they bring to mind past trauma..
When you go to write them suddenly, everything else — laundry, emails, errands — feels incredibly urgent.
You’re Not Alone.
The scenes you resist are often the most compelling parts of your story.
You want to write them. You just need the right support to get through it.
