The Writers Compass

Every writer hits moments of uncertainty—when direction fades and the page feels heavy. Thisclass is designed to help you realign with your story and your process. Through guided reflection, creative exercises, and practical planning, you’ll clarify what your project is really about and why it matters. We’ll explore the emotional and structural elements that drive your writing forward, from defining your story’s core question to creating a rhythm that supports consistent progress. Whether you’re mid-draft or just beginning, this class offers tools and
inspiration to help you stay connected to your creative vision—and finish what you’ve started.

Class Goals:

Reconnect with the “why” behind your writing project
Identify your story’s central focus or question
Develop strategies for consistency and creative flow
Build confidence and motivation for continued progress
