Writing Process Workshop: Write better, faster
Work with, not against, your brain in this writing workshop
While we talk a lot about what to write — More stories! Fewer words! Shorter sentences! — we don’t focus so much on how.
Writing is hard because we weren’t taught how to write. Instead, we were taught how to edit: how to spell, punctuate and use the right grammar.
But there is a how to writing. In fact, following a few simple steps in the right order can help you Write Better, Easier and Faster.
In this writing workshop, you’ll learn out-of-the-box, proven-in-the-lab techniques for how to Write Better, Easier & Faster. You’ll master a 6-step writing process that saves you time and effort and helps you find joy in your writing.
“It helped organize my thoughts, reduce clutter, and gave me insights into how to improve my writing when I get stuck.”
— Caitlin Oxley, membership manager, WildEarth Guardians

What you’ll learn in this writing workshop
In this writing process workshop, you will learn all of the steps of a six-step writing process (you’re probably skipping the most important step!) that will help you avoid writer’s block, procrastination and same-old stuff:
Go beyond Just the facts, Ma’am.
Are you still making readers’ eyes glaze over by packing your message with all of the W’s and the H? Learn to interview for story and other colorful details that actually engage readers.
Stop committing creative incest.
As with actual incest, the product of creative incest just keeps getting dumber and dumber and dumber with each generation. Learn how to get out of your own backyard for more creative, compelling communications.
Edit before you write.
William Zinsser was wrong. If you’re writing eight pages for every three you use, you’re just torching your time. Instead, learn a simple trick you can use to hit your word count — first time, every time.
Write while you’re doing the dishes …
… or taking a shower, or driving home from the brainstorming session. Find out how to make not doing anything at all one of the most productive steps of the writing process.
Write. Really write.
Learn to experience the joy of what creativity experts call “flow,” where your fingers fly across the keyboard to keep up with all of the brilliant words pouring out of your head.
Invest your time where it will do the most good.
Spend less time obsessing over word choice. Stop frittering your life away worrying about grammar and punctuation. Instead, put your time where it will do you the most good: in developing your argument.
