For many copy editors, writing is a task filled with dread, stress, and procrastination. Must it be this way? No! This session will debunk common myths that stop us from writing quickly and effectively. Participants will learn how to: speed your writing by adopting four distinct personas; use mind-mapping to break through writer's block and create a ready-to-write outline; and use tools like Pomodoros, mantras, and half-done sentences to get the job done.
