Starting & Finishing: How to Get It Written… and Done! – 2022

Even if you feel deeply called to write, it doesn’t make it easy (far from it, actually). And sometimes you *have* to get a piece of writing done, whether a work email, speaking topic submission, book proposal, or long-form work you’ve got a deadline for — even that book you’re longing to write that won’t stop nagging at your attention.

In this session we’ll talk starting, finishing, and getting unstuck so you can get your words on the page.
