Kickstart your writing life as we dive into motivations, habits, community and publishing, giving you clarity on your goals and how to bring them to life.
This talk is designed to give you insight into what being a writer could mean for you. We'll explore different writing motivations and discuss the many paths a writing life can take. We'll cover writing habits, navigating today's publishing landscape (there's more opportunity than ever), and dealing with realities like rejection and self-doubt. We'll also discuss finding your writing community, useful tools and resources, and how to treat your craft seriously without losing the joy in it. You'll get a clearer sense of your writing goals and practical ideas for making them happen. Creating your writing life isn't about waiting for inspiration—it's about understanding what you want and taking the steps to get there.

Bon Air Library is located in the historic village of Bon Air. It replaced the Hazen Memorial Library, the first lending library in Chesterfield County. Bon Air Library was renovated in 2014 to meet the changing needs of the community. It features a large artificial tree prominently centered in the children’s area, where petal shaped pillows surround the trunk and large branches extend to the ceiling. It is the perfect place for children’s play or reading. The library’s open floor plan allows for lots of natural light, as well as easy access to books and resources. Bon Air offers programs and workshops to meet the needs of the community, such as financial literacy and retirement classes, a LEGO club and dozens of family-friendly activities.
