Planners & Pantsers 2019 Prep & Preview Party

Summer’s over. And the pumpkin spice lattes are out in full force. You know what that means? 2019 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!

Yikes!
How’d you do meeting your 2018 writing goals?
Do you want to be better prepared for 2019?

Then set this day aside and join fellow writers of the Greater Los Angeles area and let’s start planning.

Whether you’re a “Planner” and outline and plan out every bit of your book, or you’re a “Pantser” preferring to fly by the seat of your pants, we’ve got tips and tricks that will help you set and reach realistic writing goals for next year.

Due to an illness, our September Workshop leader has had to cancel. But we believe we’ve got a worthwhile day for you to help you plan a balanced writing and marketing life for 2019.

Some of what we’ll be discussing:

How to set realistic daily writing quotas
How to balance writing and marketing tasks
How to prepare for and protect your precious writing time
What to plan and what to ‘pants’
And some sneak peaks about what’s coming to TheWGroup in the coming months

Do you want 2019 to be a better writing year than 2018?

Would you like to be the first to know some of the special events our writers’ group for writers have planned for the coming months?

Thinking about doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and want to be better prepared?

This is a day to get a head start on your writing goals.

After our successful Summer Party, this is the start of more opportunities for writers to get to know other writers. We want to know your successes and struggles.

We want to celebrate your victories and put together events that help you with your writing needs.

In addition to what Steven, Telly, and Vickey plan to share, we’ll also be asking to hear from YOU what kinds of programs you really want so we can also better plan to meet your needs in 2019.

We’re also LOWERING THE PRICE for this day to make it easier for you to join us for a little planning and sneak peeking before the Fall gets fully rolling and we’re knocking on 2019’s door. Bring your questions about how to better plan your writing and ideas for what you want to see more of in 2019.
