Abby Sher Will Show You How to Get Things Done

Writer/performer Abby Sher is also a mediabistro.com instructor—next Monday, she starts a four-week course on getting those “works-in-progress” completed. Among the principles Sher will be discussing for pushing your way through a creative block is the realization that your favorite lines are the ones you have to cut. “I hated the teacher who told me this,” she emails. “Mostly because she was right. Once I let go of what I thought was the-greatest-opening-line-in-the-history-of-words, my novel had room to breathe and grow.”

She’ll also reveal how you may already have the keys to great work and not even realize it. “Dust off those hard drives. Pull out the journals,” she exhorts. “It’s time to spring clean your ideas and find those stories that need to be heard.”

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.
