Brooke Warner, Senior Editor at Seal Press, and Linda Joy Myers, President of NAMW are opening up a discussion about techniques that help you get unstuck–ways to conquer the walls that rise up to impede our memoir journey.

As memoirists, we know how writing is a long journey, with many different phases. Understanding these phases in the writing process is important—writing and creating an art form is all about process, not just the goal.

Most writers we work with in our coaching and teaching find themselves struggling to get writing on the page, to create a regular writing life, and to manage the voice of creativity vs. the inner critic. In this discussion, we will discuss these challenges and their solutions so you can start to get into a flow with your writing—and so you can finish the book you want to write!

Bring your questions and problems to the call!

We will discuss:

  •       Why you need to outline
  •       How freewriting helps you stay in the flow
  •       Reasons to write 500 words a day—and how you can do it
  •       How to keep the inner critic out of the way
  •       How to create a workable system for scene, narration, and themes
