Every Semester Needs a Plan

Date: Tuesday, August 6, 2026

Time: 2:00 PM –3:00 PM ET

Make This Your Most Productive (and Balanced) Semester Yet

Do you start the semester with big writing goals—only to feel disappointed by what you actually accomplish?

Do you need to write a lot this semester?
And also want to enjoy your life?

This planning webinar is designed to help you do both.

Stop Hoping. Start Planning.

Productivity doesn’t happen just because the semester ends. Without a clear plan, summer fills up quickly—and writing gets pushed aside.

In this focused planning session, you’ll step out of the chaos and create a strategic, realistic plan for your summer.

You’ll Walk Away With:

✔ Clear personal and professional goals
✔ A concrete writing plan
✔ A realistic schedule aligned with your energy and commitments
✔ A strategy for support, community, and accountability
✔ A plan that prioritizes both productivity and balance

No more vague intentions.
No more “I’ll try to write more.”

This Webinar Is For You If:

  • You want to make significant writing progress this summer
  • You’re tired of starting strong and losing momentum
  • You want structure without burnout
  • You’re ready to be intentional instead of reactive
