Do you feel like you can never find the time to
write? Have you been chipping away at the same manuscript forever without much
progress? Do you need a system that can get you to typing “The End” with
success and satisfaction?
Wrangling a fickle muse to
meet a deadline—or just to get rid of that looming blank page—is a life-skill
for everyone who wants to get serious about their writing. Allie Pleiter, the
bestselling author of over thirty books, shares the nuts and bolts of how to
manage your muse at the St. Louis Writers Guild’s March 3 workshop from 10 a.m. to noon at The
Lodge Des Peres, 1050 Des Peres Rd, St. Louis, MO
63131. Free to Guild members; $5
for non-members.
“You'll learn how to set goals and deadlines that
reflect your personal writing style and speed--and smart ways to get
faster when you need it,” Allie said. Join the thousands of other writers
who have tackled the process of professional creativity using Pleiter's
popular Chunky Method. With a useful mix of the practical, the inspirational,
and the nitty-gritty real life of it all, this workshop gives
aspiring or working writers the tools they need to make the magic happen.
An avid knitter, coffee junkie and unreformed
chocoholic, Allie Pleiter writes both fiction and non-fiction, working on as
many as four novels at a time. The enthusiastic but slightly untidy bestselling
author of over thirty books, Allie spends her days writing, buying yarn, and
finding new ways to avoid housework. Allie hails from Connecticut, moved to the
Midwest to attend Northwestern University, and currently lives outside Chicago,
Illinois. The “dare from a friend” to begin writing has produced a
seventeen-year career with over 1.4 million books sold. In addition to writing,
Allie maintains an active writing productivity coaching practice and
speaks regularly on faith, the creative process, women’s issues, and her
very favorite topic—The Chunky Method of time management for writers. Visit her
