The Writer's Workout
Be a better writer.
Hey there!
Throughout January, you can expect to see discussions, tips, and micro prompts across social media designed to help you decide if a writing ritual is right for you. We're also introducing a monthly mini-course in 2022.
Back to Basics will include a short video explanation of a topic, examples of its use in popular culture, and ways it affects your writing. Each course ends with a quick challenge to help you strengthen your writing foundation.
I made big changes to this website; our team has been developing some incredible new features over the last several months and they're ready to show you what they've created. You can also peek at our calendar to see what's new.
You can expect changes to:
Menu and Home
About section layout
Subscription Service overhaul
Resources section (New!)
Publications section layout + overhaul
Writer's Games section (coming next month)
Come talk with us on the forum, happy writing!
