The Magic of Mistakes
January 31, 2025
11 AM PST | 12 PM MST | 1 PM CST | 2 PM EST
In memoir writing, our “mistakes” often hold unexpected gifts–just like those pivotal moments in romance novels where an apparent misstep leads to transformation. Join us for this energizing one-hour workshop where we’ll explore how your 2024 writing setbacks can become stepping stones to deeper insight and renewed creativity. We’ll talk about how to reframe your writing obstacles as opportunities, gain practical strategies for moving forward, and find the hidden magic in what you thought were just mistakes. Come prepared to transform your writing roadblocks into revelations that will energize your memoir journey in 2025.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- How to identify and reframe your perceived writing setbacks as potential opportunities for deeper insight and creativity in your memoir work
- Practical strategies to transform specific writing obstacles into forward momentum
- How to develop a fresh perspective on your writing challenges that supports renewed engagement with your memoir project in 2025
