Is this you?  “I work for weeks on a grant, researching, working with the foundation, getting my facts together, but when I sit down to the computer to write the grant, I’m terrified.  Just typing the first word terrifies me.”  Or, this?  “I sit down to write and I don’t know how to get started…just getting started is a major problem for me.”

Topics to be covered include how to see yourself as a writer; how to start writing; how to feel comfortable writing; how to write passionately; resources to have on hand; what’s the most important sentence you will ever write; and where to get ideas.
