Free Yourself to Write
Tap into the subconscious and make writing fast and stress-free.
Have you always wanted to write–a memoir, short story, blog post, or even a novel, but just can't seem to get started? Are you afraid to begin because you don't believe you have the ability? After hearing you talk about an experience or adventure, have friends or family members ever said, "Wow! You should write a book about that!" Are you one of those people who would write, but can't seem to find the time? Or, maybe you don't write because you fear criticism or judgment.
The workshop was perfect. It has given me enthusiasm to start the writing process. The step-by-step approach is a great tool and template to use in writing the next chapters.
