* I Should Be Writing! * Boot Camp - Five Week Summer Session June 24-July 27

* I Should Be Writing! *  Boot Camp for Procrastinators and Busy People.

Summer Session:  June 24 - July 27

This is the popular kick-in-the-you-know-what, no-B.S.-class that has gotten experienced writers out of ruts, stuck writers moving again, blocked writers producing, and returning writers back into gear.

Boot Camp is for you if....

You get to the end of a day, week or month and realize -- you haven't written a word, though you had the best intentions. Everything you write isn't what you intended to write. You are stuck in the middle of a long writing project and don't know which direction to take. You just can't get started, even on a small writing project. Your writing routine is MIA. You spend more time talking about writing than you do writing. You're writing regularly, but have little idea what you are actually working toward. You want to try something different on the page but can't seem to get out of your own way. You're fresh out of ideas – or have too many. You promise yourself you will get serious...when you have time, on Monday, next month, but you don't.

If any of the above describe your current relationship to your writing life, and you need a gentle push – or a very firm shove – then maybe you need this class.

I will help you: create the time to write, adopt a writer's mindset, develop and maintain regular writing routines, deal with your unique, individual writing obstacles, set and work toward writing goals that are specific and measurable -- and enjoy the process.

I act as your coach, ally and (kind but tough) task-master. Through private email exchanges, instructional materials, productivity and accountability tools, an online discussion group with fellow writers, weekly reading, and (private) telephone conversations, you will become (or return to being) a writer who writes. Opportunities for feedback on your writing also offered.

This class is self-paced; no need to be online at specific times.

Writers of any genre are welcome. Previous Boot Campers include novelists, memoir writers, poets, personal essayists, bloggers, dramatists, general nonfiction writers, children's book authors, humor writers.
