Writing While Exhausted:
Creative Writing Strategies for Caregivers
No matter what type of care work you're immersed in, this 75-minute webinar will help you weave writing into your life as a source of joy and creative expression -- not just another item on your to-do list. No previous writing experience required. Get up early. Write at the same time every day. Hit that daily word count target... no matter what. When you're a caregiver, conventional creative writing advice can feel off-the-rails incompatible with the practical realities of daily life -- and perpetuate the unpleasant, ever-present sensation of not doing enough. In this 75-minute webinar, we'll discuss the inner barriers (fear, shame, guilt) and outer ones (lack of time, space and support) that can hold us back from creative expression. Together, we'll craft a new vision for what it means to be both writer and caregiver -- a vision that will delight, inform, and nourish your creative self. You'll come away from this webinar with...

A new approach to artistic resistance that transmutes feelings of fear and guilt into creative gold
A step-by-step plan for cultivating a supportive creative community

All caregivers welcome -- no previous writing experience necessary.
