A new year presents a new opportunity for writers to achieve their goals – and whatever it is you’ve set out to do in 2021, this workshop can help you reach your targets! Taking a look at areas such as your writing routine, visioning, setting deadlines and much more, this workshop is the ideal lead into a successful and constructive 2021 as an author!

Throughout this workshop, you will...

• Examine the importance of a writing routine, and the value that regular writing activity brings
• Consider your long-term goals in writing, and what you can do in 2021 to take the right sorts of steps towards those ambitions
• Look at some of the psychological aspects - both good and bad - of writing, particularly over the long-term
