A supportive three week coaching course designed to help you focus on your creative writing projects. Come and get your words out!

25 minute sessions every weekday from 8-8:25am [BST] Sept 1st-21st 2021

Do you sometimes struggle to prioritise your creative practice? Do you have things you want to write, but never seem to find the time? Does your creativity need a bit of coaxing out to play? Have you been trying for too long to finish your novel?

If any of the above are true for you, then this series of morning calls could be just the thing to get you and your writing on track.

What’s it all about?

You’ll meet with a group of like-minded creators, artists and procrastinators for 25 minutes from 8:00am [BST] each weekday from 1st Sept for 21 days.

Led by writer and creativity coach, Alison Powell, you’ll be encouraged to look at the bigger picture of your creative writing, to examine your blocks, to find out how to deal with your inner critic and discover ways to keep your creativity flowing.

Will there be writing prompts?

Each session will end with a writing prompt or focus that you can take into your day.

Do I need to have a project underway?

No. You could use these sessions to support a project you’re already working on, but equally you can use them to simply get into the habit of regular writing. It could be that you’re working on a novel, a series of poems, a playscript or a memoir. Equally, it could be that your goal is to write in your journal every day.

Will I have to meet a daily word count?

No. With support from Alison and the group, you’ll set your own goals for the course. For some people, daydreaming might be vital to creative work, for others, getting to the laptop is the the thing that makes a difference. You’ll decide what you need to do.

Who will be in the group?

Writers of all levels of experience – whether you’re a total novice, or an experienced novelist, these sessions can offer you valuable support and accountability.

Will I get feedback on my writing?

This course is designed to keep you writing. If you want feedback on your work, speak to Alison about WriteClub’s Write Your Novel and Your Story courses or ping an email to hellowriteclub@gmail.com to discuss other options.
