A Festival for Writers, Readers, and Fans
Friday August 14, 2026 4:30pm - 5:45pm MDT
 What happens on the days when you don’t feel inspired, when everything is dark and heavy and cloudy? And what about the bright days, when the sun is out, the world is calling you outside, and writing still feels like a drag? This workshop explores the real, human challenges of sustaining a writing practice through rain or shine, literally and figuratively.


We’ll look at how to keep going when doubt, negativity, or overwhelm threaten your progress. How to get back your spark even when your book hates you. How to slip back into the story when the world feels chaotic and nothing makes sense. Together, we’ll discover the art of becoming delusional. Trusting that writing is still worth it. And you’ve got a pen, a voice, and a stubborn inner child that refuses to shut up.


We will laugh and cry and find both the joy and the practical steps we need to get back on the page.
