Do you think and feel deeply? Does it make you feel overwhelmed? Does that also affect your writing practice, which can be hard to maintain in the first place? If your answer is yes, join me to learn:

• the four core characteristics of sensitivity and how they intersect with writing

• practical tips that balance writing productivity and energy management

• how to do more things that make you happy and productive, not miserable*

Applying these principles can help calm your nervous system and make writing—and living—a lot more fun. Sound like just what you need? Join me for two hours that will help you craft a happier, more productive writing life.

What Our Students Say

"Lori is an excellent teacher, and this is an understatement. I like to say that Lori is exceptional as a teacher that can easily walk on water and chew gum at the same time. In short, what I learned from Lori is immeasurably valuable."

"Lori is an inspiring and incredible instructor. She consistently checked in with us to focus the class in a helpful way!"

"Lori was a stupendous, engaging instructor who obviously was pulling from a wealth of knowledge about living through writing on your passions. The books and topics she referenced in our class are absolutely what I'll be working on for the remainder of the year."
