Do you want to write that book of your heart, but writer's block gets in the way?

Are you stuck in the middle of your first draft and feel lost?

  • learn about the 12 stages of book writing
  • create a game plan for writing your book
  • implement strategies to stay motivated

  • connect to creative fire and increase your creative flow
  • find the fun and joy in every stage of the book writing process

Creativity Techniques to Fill the Well: Join us for a Creativity Workshop designed to fill you with ideas and the means to implement them! This workshop will provide practical tips, lots of handouts, and an opportunity to put some of the tips in action. Generating ideas is fun and easy! All it takes is time, dedication, and a bag full of creativity tools. By the end of this playshop, you will have answers to your questions and a bit of relaxation from the usual way of thinking and creating.

The length of this workshop can be tailored to fit the needs of your group, and be a 1 hour presentation, or a two-day workshop, of somewhere in between.

“Beth's workshop was great. It helped me explore the ideas that had been floating around in my head for years. I learned things about myself and my writing skill.” -- Zana Lugo, Ameriprise

“This is to acknowledge Beth Barany and her "Call To Adventure" workshop. As a writer and publisher of personal growth related human interest stories, and as one with over tweny years' experience attending and facilitating a multitude of personal growth workshops, seminars and conferences, I highly recommend Beth and this workshop. I found the experience to be informative, revealing and even playful. I would encourage anyone wishing to have accurate and meaningful insight on their "inner journey" to participate in this experience.”
-- Don Kirschner, Founding Director at the Society for Return to Honor

“If you're like me and you've always wanted to write a book, but didn't quite understand how, Beth's instruction is an excellent resource.”
-- David Kwong, Berkeley, CA
