“When am I supposed to write?” Between work, family, health and the general chaos of being a person, your real life probably looks a lot busier than the writing life you imagined. And most writing advice seems to assume you’ve got a cabin in the woods, a free morning and a brain that does what it’s told.
So you squeeze writing into the gaps, or you don’t, and then you feel guilty about it either way.
In this panel discussion, Susanne is joined by Jon Argaman, who has taught writing at the University of Pennsylvania for nearly a decade and helps neurodivergent writers figure out what works for the lives they actually live. Also on the panel is author, writing coach and No Mess, No Magic podcast host Monica Hay, who helps writers build sustainable writing lives rooted in self-compassion rather than shame.
Together, they’ll talk about how to shape a writing practice around your real week, what “enough” writing actually looks like for you, and how to stop the guilt from eating up the little time you do have.
Bring your messiest week, your most ambitious writing plan, and the “should” you can’t shake.
We’ll help you find a way to write that fits around your life instead of competing with it.
What would your writing life look like if it was built for the life you actually have? And how much more would you write if you stopped feeling guilty about what you haven’t?
Find out during this panel discussion!
