How to Fit Writing into a Vibrant Life (without going bananas)
A Workshop
Do you have major responsibilities? Perhaps you are raising children or grandchildren, holding down multiple jobs, caring for aging parents, trying to make the world better through volunteerism, or dealing with health issues that sap your strength.
How can we also fit productive writing into our lives? And meet deadlines? How can we do a good job of incorporating our writing without seeming rattled? How and when do we find time? 
On Sunday, September 14, let’s come together at the Millhopper branch of the Alachua County Library and figure it out.
This interactive workshop will offer strategies that writers and other creatives can use to write while juggling multiple roles. Participants should bring a notebook, calendar, and pen for sketching out a writing plan.
This session will be lead by WAG board member, educator Michelle Dunlap, who has never known a time when she wasn’t juggling multiple family, work, and community responsibilities. Yet, she has managed to write a dissertation and 50 other published pieces.
She has authored two books, and co-edited three others. She managed all this while a single parent raising two children, caring for a terminally ill parent, and holding major ministerial, board, and other service responsibilities within her community.
“It was far from easy,” she said, but she had to find ways to get the writing done in order to achieve all of her goals. In this workshop she hopes her strategies will help you develop your own methods for consistently finding time to write.
The WAG board usually meets at 1:00 p.m. prior to the program. WAG members are welcome to attend board meetings but should contact WAG’s president in advance to confirm and request a copy of the agenda.
