Conquer the 3 P's: Perfectionism, Procrastination, and Paralysis

People really enjoyed the online progress page where we all posted our daily writing successes and difficulties, and a surprisingly active forum sprang up in the 6-day time period between the two classes. This time there will be 2 weeks, so more opportunity for learning and interaction. And of course, e-coaching from me. So check it out !
