In this session Zinnie will specifically discuss wellness for writers. How do we harness and work with our creativity in order to survive and thrive as a writer? Zinnie will talk for around 35 mins on the lived experience of working as a writer, how to get through the ups and downs, turn down the inner critic and face the page when you feel blocked and then open the floor to your questions

In this session- Zinnie asks that if you are able, you switch on your camera so she can see your faces!
