Manage your Writing Like a Boss
Use Project Management Skills to Get the Most out of your Writing Time
Join Michelle McCraw Orloff as she teaches us what it takes to manage your writing like a boss.
Do you struggle with finding time and focus to do your writing? Do you have a writing project that’s languishing from neglect, but you just can’t muster the energy to pick it back up? Does your writing feel like an endless slog? Ever wish you could find more discipline for your writing?
Course topics include

- Incorporating project phases and milestones into your writing work
- Developing a project plan
- Developing a book plan/outline
