Keep Moving Forward

“If we wait for the perfect time, we won’t ever write.”
Writer, audiobook narrator, puppeteer and award-winning author Mary Robinette Kowal knows that external pressures can do a number of your writing, and that the best way forward is to keep moving forward.
As a way to help, she’s offering a Free Class: Barriers to Writing
Hey there… have you been having a hard time writing? Yeah. There’s a lot of that going around right now.
This class looks at what keeps people from writing. It’s less about problems with the story and more about all the external things. It covers environmental factors, mental health, and tricks for compensating for all of this to write.
I’m sharing this class for free, because I suspect we could all use both the boost and distraction now and in the coming months.
Hope this helps.
