Does this sound like you?
​

  • You sometimes get so stuck in your writing that you can't figure out how to move forward--much less figure out why you're stuck in the first place.

  • You can spend whole writing sessions on the same few sentences or paragraphs--and then sometimes toss them out and start all over again the next time you sit down to write.

  • You're so worried about what your advisor / reviewer / colleagues / editor will think about your argument that you can't bring yourself to put it on paper.

  • You set aside time to write, but sometimes feel so anxious when the time comes that you conveniently find something else to do.

If this sounds familiar,
​Unstuck can help.

"Thanks so much Michelle, this was wildly helpful and actionable."

By the end of this retreat, you will:

  • Understand the phases that every writing project goes through and why it’s so easy to get stuck in any one of them.
  • Predict when your writing barriers are likely to show up—and learn how to handle them when they  do.
  • Uncover your unique writing process—those hidden strategies you already know for managing blocks and why they’re so hard to access when you need them.
  • Move your manuscript forward - by immediately using the strategies you learn during your writing time. 
  • Learn how to overcome your barriers for good, so you can make meaningful, measurable progress--even when you're not on retreat.

How Does it Work?


Once You Register
You'll receive emails with everything you need for the retreat, including your unique Zoom meeting link and helpful pre-retreat prep tips.
​
During the Retreat
You'll unravel the mysteries of your writing barriers in a full day retreat, then spend the rest of the day writing and reflecting with other retreaters. You'l learn and work with cameras on so you can give and receive encouragement to your amazing community of kind, empathetic writing companions. And you'll be supported throughout the day by live coaching with InkWell Founder, Michelle Boyd, PhD. 
​

At the End
You'll understand the 3 keys to ensuring you can move you past your barriers--every single time you write.
