The End: Finally Finishing That Piece of Work That Has Taken Forever to Write
Session 1:
In this workshop, we will sharpen our writerly intuition to ascertain the reasons we have been unable to finish this work:
- Are we truly “stuck” with some kind of block? (This is seldom the case)
- Does this piece of work simply need more time to percolate?
- Are we being lazy?
- What is missing from this work that may be required?
- Is the ending evading us?
During this first session we will identify the causes and make a plan.
Session 2:
After investigating our internal process, we will move forward – and proceed with our plan.
Together, we will get unstuck, find how to nurture a growing story, kick ourselves into gear, or pick up the threads and work to a natural and satisfying ending.
