Are you a neurodivergent or neuroqueering person who writes creatively, or would like to? Do you sometimes struggle with maintaining a writing practice, focusing on a task, completing projects, celebrating your own successes, or generally coping with the expectations of neurotypical/Capitalist society and productivity culture?

​

Over 2 x two hour sessions, we’ll explore tools, tricks and techniques for deconstructing internal ableism and Capitalist expectations around productivity and creativity, and develop writing practices that reflect our lived reality as ND & NQ people.

​

In each session we will discuss specific ideas, materials and tools, and respond to a variety of inspiring and relevant writing exercises.

We welcome writers of all experience levels, from complete novice to published professional

​

Session 1 - What Even is 'Time'?

Often our struggles with ‘productivity’, maintaining a ‘routine’, or being ‘consistent’ actually stem from oppressive Capitalist ideas of how time is structured, and how we are meant to ‘work’ within that structure. In this session, we’ll deconstruct these linear, goal-oriented ideas and replace them with spirally, process-centred ones.

Session 2 - What Even is 'Writing'?

What do we actually mean when we say we are (or are not) ‘writing’? What practices contribute to our writing process but aren’t actually 'writing the thing'? By expanding our understanding of what is included in our writing practice and embracing our individual creative cycles, we will find ways to start those projects that feel overwhelming, and keep up momentum when our interest and energy lags.
