Do Things Series #2: Keep On Going

16th April 2025 8:00pm to 9:00pm

Do what you can. Rest when you need. Write what you love.

 

These are the core tenants of any healthy, sustainable and joyful creative practice. Wild, right? Join us for a cosy and creative hour exploring how we keep on writing, even when we try to stop ourselves. Goal directed persistence FTW!

 

What We’ll Explore

 

Goal directed persistence
What is it? What does it mean? Where do I get it?

 

Working on longer projects
Writing a novel is haaarrrdddd. Writing a collection of short stories is haaarrrdd. They take a lot of time and a lot of persistence. How can we keep ourselves motivated and engaged?

 

What kind of practice is right for you
Daily writing doesn’t work for everyone. How do you find your writerly sweet spot?

 

The importance of rest
Just that. Hush your brain for a few seconds. Chill thy boots. Rest. It’ll do wonders for you.
