How to Be Your Own Writing Coach with Mee Ok

[Due to a mix up of the date on Zoom, this workshop, originally on January 23rd, will happen again on February 23rd.]

This 90-minute workshop will focus on the unique tools coaching can offer writers, and offer clarifying information and behind-the-scene techniques to those new to the coaching world. Additionally, it will include live mini-coaching sessions with individual participants as time allows, combining a mixture of clearing inner blocks (eg, discipline, motivation), addressing outer blocks (eg, project organization, time management), and creating concrete action plans for those struggling to take up of the challenge of actualizing their vision. We will also offer the opportunity to connect with an accountability partner to keep you on track with your intentions and commitments. To honor the space, this workshop will not be recorded. For this workshop, we recommend all participants to have cameras on to show presence and participation, but please let us know your limitations.
