Unless you’re one of those odd people who are extremely self-disciplined, motivated, and organized, you probably struggle with productivity.

Some days you may feel like writing but don’t have the time. Some days you may feel like writing but don’t have the inspiration.

Some days you just don’t feel like writing.

If you’re looking for an extra push to get going, I offer you two things with our workshop: a deadline, and readers.

The deadline for our next writers’ workshop is midnight of 05/22. The following week, 05/29, we’ll meet for a peer review session with other writers.

With a deadline to adhere to, it’s a lot easier to justify the time to write. If you know there’s a critique at the other end of that deadline, what better motivation to push the quality of your work even harder?

Please submit your work to workshops@columbuscoop.org before midnight of 05/22. You must be present to receive feedback, so please only submit work if you know you can attend on 05/29. All are welcome. You do NOT have to be a member to participate, submit work, or attend.

Log in to your free CCC account (or create one here) for details on time and place.

If you’re not able to travel to Columbus, try our Virtual Peer Workshop (VPW).

Using Google Hangout, CCC will host an online version of our writers’ workshop at the same time the other workshoppers are meeting in Columbus.

If you’d like to participate, send in your work to workshops@columbuscoop.org by midnight of 05/22. Please specify ‘Virtual Peer Workshop’ in the subject line and include your Google user name in the email so we can add you to the hangout.

Log in to your free CCC account for hangout log in details.

The VPW is a great opportunity for those who are physically or geographically incapable of attending the in-person workshop, but if you are able to come to the live workshop, please do!
