Yes, there will be a replay.
Writing a book doesn’t happen in a day.
It happens over time through your writing practice—your habits, routines, and rituals.
Experienced writers also know that the habits that worked for one book may not work in the next one.
Getting intentional about your writing practice and mindset practice means creating a powerful multitool for anytime you're stuck in a creative rut with your book.
When you cultivate these 8 essential habits of mind, you’ll have a powerful toolkit that you can turn to again and again to help you to finish, whether it’s your first draft or your final pass.
Join this workshop masterclass
In this hands-on workshop"Habits of Mind Masterclass: Finish that Book" with experienced teacher and book coach Dr. Bailey Lang, you’ll:

Instead of finishing your novel, maybe you're at the beginning, wishing and yearning and wanting to write your science fiction or fantasy novel but it's hard to get started.
Deep breath.
And another deep breath.
I know from long experience (16 novels written and 12 published) that the beginning of a huge endeavor like writing a novel can feel incredibly overwhelming.
And I also know that if you're here reading this that you really want this.
And you may even be ready to take the next step into getting started.
Well...
I have a friend's offer to share with you, an upcoming bootcamp, especially for people are starting their novel and are new to this whole process.
So...
I highly recommend you check out Savannah Gilbo's upcoming bootcamp and take those first steps.
The beautiful thing about bootcamps is you are not alone.
I highly highly recommend that you learn in the company of other writers.
I would not be the writer I am today if I hadn't first decided - number one - to be committed to writing a novel no matter how long it took; and - number two - did it in the company of other writers.
(I don't mean literal company while I'm writing -- just in the company of other writer for critique groups, writing classes, and professional writing groups.)
While we may be alone with the words in the page, the typing (or dictating), and the ideas, we actually do not succeed in this industry alone.
We succeed because we work with other writers.
So, I highly recommend that you check out Savannah's upcoming bootcamp and see if it is right for you.
They start soon so sign up now, if this is right for you!

No matter where you are in your writing journey, I believe in you. Don't give up.
Maybe now is the time to recommit and go deeper in to your writing.
If you need in-depth one on one support, that's what I specialize in.
Just hit reply and we can set up a time to chat about it.
I am very excited about helping authors who have finished their first draft and who want to learn how to edit their own novels in the company of other writers.
I specialize in helping science fiction and fantasy writers because that's what I write and I'm really here for you.
You have something to say and you're here because you want to say it.
"Whatever the problem, community is the answer."
I love this quote from Margaret J. Wheatley.*
I believe in it.
Even if these resources aren't the right ones for you, please let me know if you need help finding the right one.
There is a community out there to support you in being the author you want to be.
❤️
