Creativity gathers energy from clarity of mind, body, and soul. What are you doing to nourish yourself as a creative? You can’t write from zero. You need to be filled constantly. I’ll share some of my secrets for staying vivified and vivacious even in the winter months when it’s easy to make excuses for not being creative.
-
Free yourself from the guilt of failures and mess-ups. Starting over is an act of the will. It’s easy to give in and not go on. But it takes a creative fighter to leave the hard times behind and keep going, reaching for a new start. And you are that creative fighter.

We live in an age that wants to squash hope and dash the light to bits. It wants to keep you quiet. It wants to silence your roar. But it didn’t count on you putting it all on the table. It didn't count on you letting loose. You’re about to surprise the world, even yourself.

Should you have writing goals? That depends on how you work and what inspires you to keep at your craft. I’ll talk about my own rhythms and tell you why I don’t bother with daily word counts. We’ll talk through what it looks like to establish a writing rhythm that breathes life into your soul.

The Q&A sessions have turned into a beautiful time of interaction and discovery—it’s the gem of the live session. Anything goes as it relates to writing, book proposals, the industry, you name it. Bring your questions and let’s have some fun.

We are slowly building a special writing community. There are all kinds of writer’s boot camps, masterclasses, and communities out there. The Writer’s Workshop community gathers to discuss writing for the love. We want to hone our craft, tell better stories, inspire readers, and connect with like-minded creatives. Does this sound like your cup of tea? Then pour some, and join us on January 20, 2024.
“If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), "Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?" chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.”
— Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

Meet Your Teacher.
Timothy Willard is a writer, theologian, artist, creative consultant, and independent scholar. He has authored four books, including the critically acclaimed Veneer: Living Deeply in a Surface Society and the brand new bestselling The Beauty Chasers: Recapturing the Wonder of the Divine.
Timothy’s inspirational writing has been featured in Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Patheos, Acculturated, The Huffington Post, FaithIt, Duke Divinity’s Faith & Leadership, Q Media: Essays, Catalyst Magazine, Outreach Magazine, Relevant Magazine, and The Edges Collective.
Timothy has worked as a writer, creative consultant, and publishing collaborator (ghostwriter) for over fifteen years. He’s worked on over thirty book-related projects with clients ranging from Chick-fil-A, Sonic, Q Ideas, International Mission Board, Hobby Lobby, and Coca-Cola Consolidated to NYT bestselling authors, multi-platinum Grammy Award-winning artists, former NFL MVPs, writers, pastors, home educators, and entrepreneurs.
Timothy has been a featured speaker at Q Ideas, Catalyst Conference, Allume Conference, OCCA, The Oxford Center for Christian Apologetics, and various churches, including Carmel Baptist in Charlotte, North Carolina, Embrace Church in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and St. Aldates Church: Oxford, England.
With a passion to disciple the minds of the emerging generation in faith and culture and to help people live like beauty matters, Timothy moved his family to Oxford, England, for two years, where he earned his PhD at King’s College London and studied beauty in the works of C.S. Lewis under the supervision of renowned theologian Alister McGrath. He is currently working on a book that explores C.S. Lewis’s aesthetics with a university press.
He lives in the charming southern town of Waxhaw, North Carolina, with his wife, Christine, his three daughters, Lyric, Brielle, and Zion, and their shaggy Goldendoodle named Cash (yes, after Johnny).
