WORKSHOP

Productivity for Writers

Live session: Thursday, September 3, 2026

Get better writing done, faster, without turning your work into free training data for the people destroying this planet.

.....

What are we even doing? As a society, I mean. This is insane. It’s insane. I’m tired of hearing about it. You’re tired of hearing about it. In fact, I’m not even going to mention it again: fucking fuck AI, that’s it.

Creating feels good. Writing is hard, and that’s important. For these and many other blessed reasons, writers still want to write. Writing is hard, yes, but it should only be as hard as it needs to be...from the human challenge to express oneself, or the painful process of killing our darlings, or the gap between ideas and execution—not hard because we’re losing drafts, doing busy work, and fighting with our outlines and word processors. 

So we still want to write.

We want to write well.

And we need to write quickly and efficiently—especially if we want to keep pace with the slop merchants. This, I can help with.

I have some good news: computers are still extremely useful even without the thing I’m not mentioning again, writing is still a skill you can improve, and this workshop might have just what you need to put some OOMPH back into your writing practice, wherever and however you apply your craft. Do you write poetry? Great. Plays? Cool, me too. Memos? Reports? Interfaces? I’ve written it all, baby. Let’s go.

I’m Scott, by the way. You’re on my website. Hi. I’ve been writing on computers longer than some of these tech CEOs have been alive, and I’ll be pulling from my 30+ years of personal writing practice and 20+ years as a professional communicator to share my favorite tips, tools, tricks, and “thinky things” to help you write better, faster, and more effectively in this two-hour workshop.

Hope you can join. The live session is going to be a hoot (with live Q&A!), but anyone who registers will get access to the recording with captions and any materials and links shared during the session.
