Creativity thrives in flow, not force. Yet so many writers struggle against their natural energy cycles, pushing through exhaustion or feeling guilty for prioritizing their craft.
In a world that glorifies hustle and nonstop productivity, it’s easy to believe that good writers are the ones who show up every day, crank out thousands of words, and never run out of steam. But here’s the thing: humans aren’t machines. And creativity isn’t a tap you can leave running forever.
Creativity thrives in flow, not force. Yet so many writers struggle against their natural energy cycles, pushing through exhaustion or feeling guilty for prioritizing their craft. What if managing your energy was the key to unlocking your best work?
Join us for this in-person, free workshop where author and curiosity advocate Leah Byrd guides authors through how to recognize non-serving patterns, build guardrails that protect creative space, and reclaim natural rhythms and flows more aligned with the creative life.
This event is for you if you’ve ever:
- Sat down at your scheduled time to start working on your novel/memoir/poem/blog/essay and … the words just wouldn’t come.
- Put off your editing, even though you have the time to do it.
- Felt guilty when you’re not writing AND when you’re taking the time to write
Who should attend:
- Writers of all skill levels and genres
- Writers who want to network with other writers
- Writers who want to build more energy for writing
At this interactive workshop you’ll:
- Review a day in your life through a lens of energy versus time
- Understand guilt from ‘not doing enough’ or (gasp!) resting
- Learn how to build more energy for your writing
- Gain the confidence to say “no” to good things so you can say “yes” to great things
- Recognize the toxic symptoms of unused creativity
Spoiler alert: This isn’t a session about productivity hacks. It IS a session about learning to tap into your energy in a way that best serves your creative self.
Bring something to write with and your curiosity!
