Description

Have you been working and reworking the beginning of your novel but can’t seem to push past a certain point? You want to finish the first draft, but something is stopping you from making progress. In this workshop, led by Eva Langston, we’ll discuss common writer roadblocks and practical tips for overcoming them. You’ll also make a plan for finishing your novel, set deadlines and learn ways to hold yourself accountable to your goals. You may even find another writer to be your accountability partner. This workshop is for anyone who is ready to finally type “the end.”
