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.

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..
