Is your writing life a junkyard of started projects, scattered notes, and misplaced ideas? Get it together with an organizing extravaganza. In this class, you'll learn the habits, tools, and templates you can use to stay organized, so you never have to wonder if you're working on the latest draft, if you lost that story idea, or who that person was you wrote for last year. We'll set a solid foundation of organization for your writing future and free the rest of your brain for writing.
