What will get your butt in chair and turn your writing dreams into checked-off goals? What is the magic word, the secret sauce, the down-and-dirty must-have for all writers?

Yes, it's deadlines. Real deadlines.

What's on the other side of a deadline that makes it real? A smart, eager reader, waiting for your pages, ready to hand back to you a portrait of their experience—where they got immersed, what delighted and enthralled them, where they got confused, and what questions arose and when, all in service of buoying you to your next, stronger draft. You know Elizabeth delivers in her responses in Craft Studio? That immediate response hints at the ways her reading can elevate the innate strengths of your work and pinpoint areas for development in an enthusiastic way that sends you, excited, back to the page.
