Write twice as much as you do now...
in half the time?
Get into the "writing zone"effortlessly every single day?
Feel inspired to write every time you sit down?
Easily meet all of your writing deadlines?
Write more books per year?
I used to struggle to stay focused and be productive every day. But after years of researching and experimenting with all different kinds of productivity strategies, techniques and tools, Ive managed to curate an extensive list of hacks that have helped me become a more productive writer.
How productive?
LAST YEAR, I WROTE 4 NOVELS (over 350,000 words)AND A SCREENPLAY...
IN LESS THAN 12 MONTHS!
When I tell people this, they usually say something like..."How do you find the time???"But inactuality, it's not about theamountof writing time you have, it's how you use that time.
I WRITE4+ BOOKS A YEAR...
WRITING ONLY 2-3 HOURS A DAY!
In this course,Iteach you how to minimize thetime you put in, while maximizingwhat you get out, so you can get the most out of every writing day."This course changed my life. I have more than doubled my Average Daily Word Countsome days writing six times what I used to force onto the page each day."- Emily Hainsworth, author of THROUGH TO YOU (Harper Collins)"This course has transformed my writing and my productivity! -JOANI, UDEMY STUDENT"I've already increased my daily word count by 200%" -GEORGIA, UDEMY STUDENT"If you write (or plan to write), get this course"-SCOTT, UDEMY STUDENT"This is life-changing stuff...
I highly recommend this course to even the most seasoned of writers." -ROBIN, UDEMY STUDENTMy name is Jessica Brody and Im an international bestselling author published by several major publishers like Simon and Schuster, Random House, Macmillan, and Disney Press. Ive been writing professionally for over 10 years and heres what Ive discovered about the creative process:
Our brains are like computers. They can do amazing things but they can also get bogged down by all the various programs we open during the day.
With all these other programseating up RAM in our brains, we barely have any processing power left to do what we writers love to do: write!
Which is why I developed this course:
toteach you my tried and true strategies, tips, tools, and techniques for eliminating distractions, freeing up brain processing power, and focusing your attention and energy on whats most important, so you can get more done, in less time.
I call these strategies: PRODUCTIVITY HACKS. Because similar to how our brain functions like a computer, wecan also hack it like a computer. We can apply simple yet effective tricks to BOOST BRAIN FUNCTION, INCREASE FOCUS, BE MORE INSPIRED, and WRITE MORE!"I noticed an immediate increase in my output the moment I put her hacks to use.

By Glenna Hale on 6/11/2020

Many of the hacks, particularly the Brainwave apps, are things that I will incorporate into my writing day. But some of the management tools don't interest me at all. Jessica's delivery is always clear and concise, and I look forward to taking another of her courses.

This course is perfect for anyone wanting to get their writing kickstarted or get more out of each day. It is the end of writer's block!
