📚 Overview

Every writer dreams of a consistent, productive routine — but staying motivated through the highs and lows of a book-length project can be its own creative challenge. In this session, editor Lindsey Alexander will show you how to foster a writing practice that’s flexible, sustainable, and built to last.

You’ll learn how to assess your time, resources, and support system, and discover strategies for handling writer’s block, criticism, and motivation dips with confidence.
