Writer’s Retreat Online Event: Creativity Galore!
Hey Authors and Authors-To-Be!
When you sit down to write, do any of the following happen?
• Your Inner Critic shames you into believing you’re not a “real” writer?
• Your mind becomes a vast wasteland of information that has nothing to do with your project?
• Suddenly scraping the lime off the shower stall becomes imperative?
• Everywhere you look, something that needs to be done stares at you accusingly?
• An hour goes by and the only thing that’s been accomplished is an hour of Wordscapes?
• Your writer’s block becomes a boulder beyond compare?
Sometimes, in order to get some solid writing done, a firm commitment to yourself and others is what’s needed. And since these are highly unusual times in which we live, it’s high time for some unusual ways of accomplishing this! This is our 2nd online writer’s retreat which have historically been live events. The 1st online writer's retreat last year was a huge success! Can’t wait to see how this one unfolds!
Join me, Dr. Bonnie Nussbaum, America’s Kick-Ass Coach, your host for a weekend of writing, breaking through barriers to writing, more writing, some fun and relaxation, and…MORE writing! Finally give your novel, tech. book, article, e-book, memoir the time it…and you…deserve.
WHAT THE AGENDA WILL INCLUDE:
• Structured meetings on Zoom to lay out our work for the weekend, get to know each other, set our intentions, and reconvene often to check in and celebrate progress and work through stuck points.
• Brainstorming/Masterminding sessions – let’s utilize the group’s energy and wisdom to help generate massive ideas for moving our projects forward.
• Group Energywork, possibly including PSYCH-K, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Guided Imagery, and Breathwork, designed to move you past your stuck points and clear the way for your creativity to flow.
• Specific time set aside just for writing (with support and guidance!) on your project.
• Our private Facebook group where you can connect before, during, and after the retreat with the other writers who are participating or who have participated in the past.
WHY: Because you know you aren’t getting it done on your own. Let a group of supportive fellow writers help you accomplish what you’ve set out to do!
WHEN: Friday, March 19th, 2 pm – 9 pm Eastern AND Saturday, March 20th, 9 am -9 pm Eastern
*Our goal is to work through any self-imposed limits to our writing. We’ll be doing a variety of things to keep ourselves in flow: breathing, guided imagery, meditation, etc.
*This is different than other writing retreats in that we’re going to be working with our process more than our outcomes. What I mean by that is: being aware of what’s going on within us as we do our writing, I think, is incredibly valuable not only for what we create, but for how able we are to create it!
97% of writers never finish their book….of the 3% who do finish, only a small fraction go on to publish. Why is that? I think much of that has to do with monkey mind/resistance/writer’s block…whatever you want to call it. So I’ve chosen to focus much more on the flow of the work in these retreats and addressing, on a deep level, that which blocks or limits the flow.
