August Writer’s Mindset Workshop
What if you could turn self-doubt and comparison into the confidence and courage to create some of the most meaningful writing of your life?
Whether you're working on a much-labored-over book manuscript or putting your words onto the page for the first time, the book writing process inevitably brings up negative self-talk around talent, ability, and being "good enough" that you end up holding yourself back from creating the work you want to bring to life.
Join me in partnership with Happy Women Dinners for I CAN WRITE THIS BOOK: Writing Through Doubt, Perfectionism, and Fear
DATES: 3 Wednesdays in August — August 5th, 12th, 19th
TIME: 5:30 to 6:30 pm PST
LOCATION: Virtual (Zoom)*
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION:
$299 by July 10th
$350 after July 10th
OVERVIEW
In this interactive three-part workshop series, mindset coach, author of WANT YOUR SELF, founder of WANT: Women Against Negative Talk, and longtime professional writer Katie Horwitch will help you navigate the Befores, Durings, and Afters of the writing process: the stories that hold you back, the cringe of half-baked thoughts, the post-publish vulnerability hangovers, and so much more.
You’ll learn to identify, address, and move through the doubts, frustrations, limiting beliefs, and fears that shape how you begin, develop, and evaluate your writing. Through playful and introspective writing exercises, thoughtful reflection, facilitated conversation, and guided practices, you’ll learn how to move beyond the pressure to sound polished or impressive and ommunicate what you genuinely mean.
This isn’t your typical writing class, or a lesson in becoming a “perfect” writer. It’s an opportunity to build greater trust in your ideas, your voice, and your ability to express yourself — so that you can create writing that feels clear, meaningful, and YOURS.
Whether perfectionism and comparison keep you stuck, overthinking makes it hard to begin, or discouragement leads you to give up on your writing altogether, this workshop is for you.
SYLLABUS
WEEK ONE
Before: Getting Good Out Of The Way
The first week of this workshop is about the self-talk stories that hold us back before we even begin. We'll dive into perfectionism, comparison, fear — and rethink what "good" and "bad" mean in the first place.
WEEK TWO
During: From Mess To Message
You've sat down, opened the page or document, started writing...and you cringe. This week will explore how to write through feelings of uncertainty, how to gain clarity when you don't quite know what comes next, how to handle "clunky" phrasing, and how to make sure you don't give up before you hit the gold.
WEEK THREE
After: Edit, Share, Be Seen, Repeat
Writing is one thing. Navigating your mindset after you finish writing it is a whole other thing. In your final week, you'll learn how to mindfully edit, use feedback wisely, nurse the post-publish vulnerability hangover, and return to the page with your voice — and your self-trust — intact.
