A new year is always full of promise. Perhaps you have a bunch of great story ideas, poems you want to write or pictures you want to paint but vacillate over choosing one and getting started. Or maybe you started a project last year but have gone off on a tangent or hit a roadblock and don’t know how to get back on track. If this sounds like you, join Sandra Tayler, a writer, editor and publisher with multiple project credits, at the Jan. 25 Fremont Area Writers Zoom meeting. Tayler will explain how motivation functions in our brains and how to get yours to engage when you’re feeling stalled.
Wanting to do creative work is different from actually getting it done. Over the past three decades Tayler has watched many of her creative friends struggle to find the motivation to start projects and to carry them through to completion. She knows all the roadblocks that haunt creative projects. Her Zoom talk, “How to Get Moving When You’re Stalled and Redirect when You’re Off Course,” addresses these motivation problems, while her recent book, Structuring Life to Support Creativity, helps busy people make more space in their life for the creative work they want to do.
Tayler knows about busy. She has spent the last thirty years writing while managing a demanding Orem, Utah, household and several small businesses. Her talk is sponsored by Fremont Area Writers and is appropriate for all creatives whether they write, paint, sew or build.
Fremont Area Writers is one of 21 branches of the California Writers Club. FAW meets on Zoom from 2 – 4pm on the fourth Saturday of each month. The meetings are free and open to the public. You do not need to live in Fremont to attend. We welcome everyone who has an interest in writing from aspiring beginners to published professionals.
