Join award-winning playwright and mentor Lynda Radley for a course of four free workshops about building a writing practice that is sustainable over time and simple to implement. Workshops will take place in person at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh.
Are you trapped in a cycle of procrastination and self-recrimination? Do you watch playwriting deadlines sail past? Do you struggle to start, or finish, a draft? Do you feel scattered or overwhelmed?
Whether you’re neurodivergent, managing a disability, navigating caring responsibilities, or just burned out and stuck, you’re not alone.
Based on her personal experience and extensive research, Lynda will guide you towards solutions that are achievable. There will be sessions on procrastination, perfectionism, PRESSURE, brain chemistry and goal setting. This course is not about changing everything overnight. It is about taking practical – but not necessarily predictable – steps towards enjoyment and satisfaction. This course is open to anyone who wants to have a healthier relationship with their writing practice, whether distracted writers, weathered writers, or writers who are frozen after their first success.
By going through this process with other participants you will also have an opportunity to build community.
Start Monday mornings with support and a plan.
