Pen on Fire: How to Start and Keep Writing
If you’re in a writing slump or struggling to meet the page, this lecture offers practical, gentle ways to rethink what a sustainable writing practice looks like for you. We’ll talk through the most common reasons writers struggle to sit down and do the thing, from perfectionism to burnout and everything in between, and explore flexible approaches to rebuild your practice. This lecture includes a group discussion, generative exercise, and time for questions, with an emphasis on building out your writerly toolkit.
This is part of our 2026 Lecture Series. You can purchase the entire series by going here.
