In a world that insists on more and more output in order to be “enough,” dare to defy the demands of productivity while saying yes to yourself, your peace, and your joy! Dare to take back the pleasure in your passions and creativity.

It can seem as though everyone around us (in and out of the writing space) is obsessed with how much we produce. How many words? How many pages? How many books? Not to mention the requirements at work and at home. Everything whispering that it’s never enough. We must do more. It’s easy to fall into the trap of giving everything we have to this path of diminishing returns until we are left empty of everything except disappointment and frustration.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Join Debbie Burns in The Creative Rebel. We’ll discover: 1) the path leading to more writing with less stress and overwhelm (Hint: it’s not found in productivity!), 2) how to identify the patterns of your happiness (no more wondering what fills you up), and 3) the mindset shift that will get you back on track to your peace and joy.

This is a hands-on, participation-required workshop. We’ll be doing the work together, so come open and ready to choose courage.

You ARE the revolution.
