She was thinking all the time about her book, a pit in her stomach because she wasn't actually working on it.
When I asked her what she needed she told me she needed a place to talk out her story and be a safe place to do so.
That's why we created the Writing Momentum Circle -- for writers like her who are working on a sf/f novel but sometimes gets stuck -- your know -- in the manuscript, in your own head, or the ether.
The Writing Momentum Circle is a four-month facilitated space for writers who want consistent support, dedicated writing time, meaningful conversation, and a group that gets to know their project.
Across 16 weekly Zoom sessions, you’ll explore creative crossroads, spend focused time on your manuscript, and leave with a clearer sense of your next move.
You can get a lot done in 16 weeks:
For science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction writers, the Circle is facilitated by Iman Llompart, also a novelist, and produced by Creativity Sparks Productions by Beth Barany. (That's me.)
