How to Write Regularly Around All the Other Stuff You Have to Do

The Workshop:

Are you struggling to find time for your writing amidst your busy schedule? Join us for a dynamic 90-minute workshop designed to help you build a consistent writing habit around your other commitments. Led by Claire Thomas Hawnt, this interactive session will provide you with practical tools and exercises to reclaim your writing time and unleash your creativity.

• Engage in a 5-minute writing warm-up in response to a thought-provoking prompt. Witness firsthand how much writing can be accomplished in a short span of time.
• Dive into a follow-on exercise to explore what might happen next in your writing, sparking new ideas and directions for your work.
•  
• Participate in a reflective exercise to identify pockets of time in your schedule that can be reclaimed and dedicated to writing.
• Learn strategies to maximise your writing time, including effective planning and creating a distraction-free environment.
• Conclude with a final 5-minute writing exercise that builds on the warm-up and previous exercises, reinforcing the importance of planning and leaving you inspired to put your newfound knowledge into action.
