Writing is a journey. Just as you are a different person at the end of every season of your life, you are a different artist at the end of every creative work you complete. Studies claim it takes 10,000 hours of practice to reach mastery of a subject or skill. Some writers say it takes ten years. But how should we spend those hours and years in pursuit of mastery? What does “practice” look like for a writer? 
Autumn has spent a lifetime reading, and the past eight years studying, analyzing, reviewing, critiquing, drafting, revising, and editing stories. She will share experiences that have taught her the most, resources and habits that have kept her going, and lessons she has learned along the way about how to become the writer you need to be in order to establish and reach your writing goals.
