Work In Progress: An Interactive Masterclass with Julia Bell

Online // 

30th November
11am-1pm GMT

Is your writing project stuck? Lost? Unmotivated? How do we get back into something that we haven’t worked on for a while? Or pick up on a work in progress after a break? 

Often a creative project starts with a burst of enthusiasm but can easily become stalled or blocked and end up languishing on our desktop. What gets in the way of progressing with a writing project? From starting in the right place to mustering our flagging enthusiasm to ensuring our ambitions aren’t too big for our capacity to deliver, this workshop will consider the textual and physiological blocks we put in our own way to hamper our progress. Aimed at unsticking the stuck, countering procrastination and encouraging those whose enthusiasms are flagging, this masterclass will provide some creative strategies for moving forward with your work.
