In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn ways to work well with your unique creative brain. Designed for writers who identify as neurodiverse, you’ll share ideas with like-minded people, as we take a strengths-based approach to working with executive function challenges. We’ll explore strategies to help you to: write regularly, work towards a goal, maintain self-care, and increase motivation for avoided tasks.
