Have a writing project you’ve been dying to start, but can’t find the time, energy or motivation? Knee-deep in revision? Drowning in drafting?
One of the best ways to get your writing back on track, or give yourself that extra boost and meet the next big challenge is to set aside a chunk of time, gather a few supportive friends, and knuckle down and get to work. But it can be hard to find that time or get to that place, be it a retreat, a conference or even a class. We’re writers, but we’re also family members, friends, community-members and employees. Here at DIY MFA, we know how you feel. We’re writers, too. And busy, too. And in need of a boost, too.
This is why we’ve created the DIY MFA Weekend Writing Sprint, a FREE event to help writers around the world get those words on the page and finally write that story they’ve been dreaming of. It’s a virtual writing retreat that you can attend in your pajamas, or in-between soccer games. The point is, it’s about fitting your writing into your life.
Join us on April 5-6, 2014 for this weekend-long writing sprint. To get started, sign up right here. You’ll get tons of inspiration to keep you motivated as you write. You’ll also be able to connect with other writers doing the retreat for lots of social accountability, and all from the comfort of your home computer or favorite local writing spot. Finally, the weekend ends with our grand finale: a free one-hour online workshop on Sunday night!
