This week, I’m bringing you sneak peek into Craft Con, a free two-day virtual summit I’m hosting with my friends at Plotdrive happening Thursday, Nov. 20 and Friday, Nov. 21.
Craft Con is all about helping authors break through their biggest creative blocks whether you’re stuck in the middle of your novel, struggling to start a story you’ve been dreaming about, or just feeling totally burnt out as the year winds down.
I interviewed 12 of my most amazing friends about the blocks they face, how they got through them, and most importantly, how they would train you to get through them as well.
We’ll be talking to amazing, superstar writers Ines Johnson, Johnny Truant, Melissa Storm, Joe Nassise, Kevin McLaughlin, Jennifer Hilt, Heather Hildenbrand, Mal Cooper, Lee Savino, Jennifer Probst, Alex Dobrenko, and Kern Carter.
You’ll hear from bestselling authors who’ve been in the trenches, facing every kind of writing block, from losing momentum and getting tangled in the messy middle to doubting their own talent, and the strategies they used to break through and become successful.
All registrants will also receive the Blockbreaker Digital Bundle for free, packed with tools and ebooks from our speakers to crush your own writing blocks!
The Blockbreaker Bundle includes The Zero to Sixty Author: One Road to Writing Success (ebook) by Kevin McLaughlin, The Write Naked Affirmation Deck by Jennifer Probst, Book Launch Checklist and Marketing Quickstart Guide by Lee Savino, Manifest Your HEA (ebook) by Heather Hildenbrand, and How to Write Irresistible Books That Readers Devour (ebook) by me.
In today’s episode, I’ve pulled together some highlight moments—golden nuggets from those interviews that’ll light a fire under you and remind you: you’re not alone in this.
