Description
Caught in a Writer's Block?
This short and sweet course in designed to give you the jump start you need!
I write about 20,000 words a week - blogs, company materials, books, press releases, email marketing, you name it. Whether you're an experienced writer who needs a little motivation or a new writer looking for inspiration, this class brings it.
In less than the time you would take for a lunch break at work, I'm going to cover:
- The importance of knowing the why behind your writing
- Why all writing is advertising
- How we're all writing the same stories, so we need to take different journeys
- A few basic tips and tricks I've picked up along the way (for beginning writers!)
- Why all writing must have a call to action
Consider this short course a cup of coffee for the heart. It will give the burst of energy you need to pick up a pencil, open a word processor, and start writing.
Enjoy!
