Writers Boot Camp
Writers Boot Camp is a reality check and a fire under the chair for both new and seasoned writers in fiction and memoir genres. Through focused discussion and group interaction, Writers Boot Camp will help you identify and reach your short- and long-term writing goals; take accountability for your bad writing habits and figure out how to finally get rid of them (or at least some of them); face up to your methods of procrastination; understand why a stopwatch or the word-count feature on MS Word will help you finish your poem, short story, or book; show you how rejection is a great thing; teach you how to have good relationships with your agent, editor, copyeditor, and marketing director; discover a thing or two that you may want to ignore in your writing feedback workshops; and help you discover that Writer’s Block is a bunch of hooey.
