Getting to Your Goals Workshop

Having trouble getting started? Do you feel overwhelmed with your to-do list or not sure where to jump in? In this workshop, we will identify our big goals, narrow our immediate focus, come up with an action plan, and curate resources for when we get stuck. This workshop would appeal to everyone including writers early in their careers as well as veteran authors.
