You have a book inside you—now it’s time to write it. Evenings & Weekends is a workshop for writers who are ready to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start making real progress on their manuscripts. Led by acclaimed author Elle Nash, this class is designed for anyone balancing their creative ambitions with the realities of work, family, and life.
Through a structured, writing-focused approach to time management, motivation, and discipline, we’ll break down the process of going from an idea to a finished draft—and beyond. Whether you’re writing fiction or nonfiction, this workshop will equip you with the tools to develop a realistic writing routine, protect your creative time, and push through resistance to finish your book.
What We’ll Cover:
Crafting a sustainable writing schedule that fits your life
Building discipline and learning to hold your time boundaries
Finding (and creating) the motivation to keep going
Step-by-step guidance from draft zero to final edits
A breakdown of the querying process and what to expect
Overcoming the fear of rejection and putting your work into the world
This is more than a workshop—it’s a commitment to your writing. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to start (or finish) your book, this is it.
