Conquer your writing fears and let your creativity flow

Writing can be scary. Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, rejection, writer’s block — we all suffer from them, and sometimes it all just gets you down. But it doesn’t have to stop you. Learn how to identify, face and conquer your writerly fears and reach your goals in a way that suits YOU.

In this course, we’ll give you a tonne of writerly know-how to boost your confidence, overcome self-doubt, and deal with the many terrifying aspects of the writing process — actual, real life, realistic, tangible methods of getting shit done without freaking the fork out.

We’ll tackle stuff like…

  • The dreaded blank page <gasp>
  • Good old imposter syndrome <argh>
  • The existential horror of writer’s block <no, please, stop>
  • Your mortal enemy: the inner critic <oof>
  • And… dun dun duuuuun: REJECTION <faints>

We know. It’s daunting. But gird your writing loins, because by the end of this course you’ll have everything you need to defeat each and every one of those dastardly fiends, achieving epic-level freedom from fear.
