SESSION: Neuroscience: A Writer’s Secret Weapon to FINISH that Novel

Do you feel like you get in a writing slump more often than not? Many writers feel frequent frustration because they’re working against their brains rather than with them. Does this sound like you?

In this session, Writing Coach Annalisa Parent will draw on her study of neuroscience and creativity to show you how to achieve the kind of non-stop creative flow that will jumpstart you into finishing that novel and the next and the next…

Annalisa will cover how to find the magic timing to write and revise your novel, how to be in right relationship with your inner critic, and how feedback can create emotional hijacking and how to avoid it.

Plus, she’ll provide a handout full of resources to help you implement new brain strategies right away.
