Writing is a creative process, and it’s natural to go through ebbs and flows. Many writers have moments of struggle and stress. But when we find ourselves in episodes where good ideas seem to grind to a halt completely and attempting to get words on the page feels like a Sisyphean task, we may consider it writer’s block. Focusing on being blocked, however, can create more of the same. Let’s sensitively unpack some of the real challenges writer’s face, and lessons we can learn, while exploring ways to bring more fun into the process!

In this presentation author **Laurie Sue Brockway** will explore:

* Why writers sometimes feel “blocked.”
* How to be compassionate with yourself during rough spots.
* What you can do to put more fun and joy into writing.
* Ideas to help ignite motivation and productivity.
* Playful tips for more ease and joy in your creative life.
* And More!

This is for nonfiction and fiction authors. You don’t have to be experiencing a creative challenge to find some fun tips in this presentation!
