WEBINAR | Mindfulness for Writers: Simple Steps To Create a More Fruitful Writing Life
June 18 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT
Mindfulness allows us to see with fresh eyes, to uncover what hasn’t yet been explored, and offers a powerful counterbalance to the disappointments that accompany rejection and ambition. Learn to reclaim the joy in your writing life.
All Genres
Too often, as writers, we find ourselves drawn to common, customary, and comfortable realizations–but the practice of mindfulness can open us to see with fresh eyes, to search our memories, and reveal what hasn’t yet been explored. Mindfulness teaches us to listen to others, but also to ourselves, even those thoughts that make us uncomfortable. (Perhaps especially those thoughts!)
Practicing mindfulness offers a powerful counterbalance to the disappointment and dissatisfaction that too often accompany the world of publishing, rejection, and ambition. To live a more fruitful writing life, we can make both the practice of writing and the work itself less about ourselves, becoming mindful of our motives and our attachment to desired outcomes.
Can’t make it live? No worries—a replay will be available to all registrants.
In this webinar, you will:
- DISCOVER how mindfulness can free up our creativity and enhance our enjoyment of writing
- EXPLORE how to move beyond “safe and customary” realizations in our writing
- LEARN ways to lessen the disappointment and dissatisfaction that accompany the business side of submission, rejection, and ambition.
- NURTURE compassion for our characters, our family members, and ourselves.
This webinar is a great fit for writers of all levels who…
- Feel stuck, discouraged, or dissatisfied with their writing life, and wish instead to be energized and optimistic
- Want to see with fresh eyes, moving beyond common and comfortable realizations
- Want to reconnect with the joy and surprise they once felt as writers
