Write Faster: Finish your book & feel good about it!

REGISTER NOW    $25.00

Learn how to write more in less time to finish your book—for real!–in 2024.

This year, you’re going to finish a book. But which one, and how? You’ve got multiple creative projects tugging for your attention, not to mention family, pets, work… When can you carve out time for your manuscript, and how will you stay motivated to finish by the time April rolls around, let alone October? And why does writing happen so slooooooooooowly?

In this 90-minute live webinar, taught by Allison K Williams, you’ll learn how to clear mental space to focus on one project, set a realistic timeline, and produce more words in less time to finish your book—for real!—this year. We’ll talk about how to work significantly even in very short bursts and discuss techniques and tricks to write faster and more productively every time you sit down. And sitting down is NOT “write every day.” You’ll learn to guide yourself through creative blocks and overwhelm, and specific strategies to create open time in your day. You’ll discover how to feel good about your work, no matter how close to “done” you get in 2024.

This webinar will cover:

• The four main obstacles between you and your finished book and how to conquer each one
• Making time out of “no time” (and how to get the people you live with to support & protect your writing minutes!)
• Strategies for starting strong in every writing session and controlling distraction
• How to create painless, consistent accountability to yourself
• Three key routines to keep you writing when you want to be (NOT the “write every day” platitude!)
• How to weigh trade-offs and opportunity costs so you can write guilt-free
• The simple technique to help yourself feel “good enough” to keep writing in imperfect circumstances or limited time

This webinar is ideal for:

• Writers of all genres who want to finish a book this year
• Creatives having a hard time choosing between multiple unfinished projects
• Novelists and memoirists with child/family/caregiver obligations who just can’t see where the time will come from
• Self-help/business authors ready to finish a platform-building book quickly
• Writers who want to shape their writing life through conscious practice
• Creative Writing students and MFA graduates having a hard time writing without external deadlines
• Writers who alternate between prolific writing binges and “hitting a wall” or getting creatively blocked
