Keeping our motivation high all year can be a real challenge and what drives us, distracts us or holds us back has both universal and deeply personal roots. Whether you start the year with a spurt of activity that fades as the year goes on, or struggle with motivation all year round, this workshop is aimed at helping you understand yourself and your motivation to write and/or illustrate more clearly. You will then build on this understanding to identify and develop personalised ways to boost your motivation and also consider how to address your own personal distractions, loss of enthusiasm and procrastination. Since 2003 Bekki Hill has specialised in coaching writers – both aspiring and professional – to address their personal challenges using new thinking strategies and new approaches to their writing. Bekki has published many articles and short stories herself and has written a regular coaching column for writing magazine Mslexia since 2005. She is the author of Coach Yourself to Writing Success, published by Hodder, and her website can be found at www.thewritecoach
