By the Seat of Your Pants: Using Spontaneity to Spark Success

October 30 @ 3:00 pm - 4:15 pm EDT

Virtual Event Virtual Event

    $15.00 (early bird) | All Genres

Harness the power of pantsing to fuel your creativity and propel your writing career.

What if the key to unlocking your creative genius is throwing caution to the wind? What if publication and literary success is less strategy and more spontaneity? 

In this creatively charged webinar, we’ll explore how embracing your inner pantser can lead to your most innovative and marketable ideas yet. We’ll discuss how to turn fleeting shower thoughts, shiny objects, and squirrel-worthy pursuits into successful, structured creative projects. You’ll learn to identify the sparks of brilliance hiding in your stream of consciousness, nurture those sparks into roaring fires of creativity (without getting burned or burned out), and transform your “seat of the pants” approach into a sustainable writing career.

Whether you’re a natural pantser, or a plotter seeking freedom, you’ll gain tools to embrace discovery, trust your instincts, and elevate your writing. By the end of the session, you’ll have the tools to recognize when an impulsive idea has potential, gain confidence in your creative process, and leave with one concrete “pantsing” goal to kickstart your journey.

In this webinar you will…
  • DEVELOP your intuition for recognizing and nurturing promising creative sparks
  • BUILD confidence in a spontaneous creative process while maintaining focus
  • EXPLORE techniques to transform impulsive ideas into structured projects
This webinar is ideal for…
  • “Pantsers” seeking strategies to complete unfinished projects
  • “Plotters” curious about infusing spontaneity into their writing life
  • Writers overwhelmed with more ideas than they know what to do with
  • Authors looking to cultivate a more organic, intuitive approach to their writing and career
  • Anyone ready to build confidence in their creative instincts and harness their potential
