Wanderful Minds: Writing With ADHD
Sunday Dec 7th
1-4 pm ET
A generative, craft-focused workshop designed and led by Christin Eve Cato (founder of The Writer's Hood) specifically for writers with ADHD—or anyone whose creativity moves faster than their structure. This workshop reframes ADHD not as a barrier to writing, but as a creative engine: intuitive, nonlinear, imaginative, and deeply alive.
Participants will dismantle perfectionism, overwhelm, and start-line paralysis using tools designed for ADHD brains: flexible process structures, dopamine-friendly workflows, nonlinear drafting strategies, beat sheet mapping, and the transformative “Write the Bad Play” method.
Writers will learn how to harness impulsive ideas, build sustainable writing rituals, use visual story-mapping techniques, and create momentum through ease rather than pressure. You’ll walk away with a clarified writing plan, pages drafted, and a renewed sense of creative possibility.
This workshop is for anyone who:
-
Struggles to start even when they know the story
-
Gets overwhelmed by large tasks or long projects
-
Writes in bursts, waves, or intuitive flashes
-
Needs movement, breaks, or flexible writing blocks
-
Thrives on accountability, community, and dopamine rewards
-
Feels more grounded with tools like beat sheets, index cards, or visual mapping
-
Wants to finish their story without suffocating their creativity
You’ll leave with:
-
A completed Beat Sheet for your project
-
A new scene drafted using the Write the Bad Scene method
-
A personalized ADHD-friendly writing workflow
-
A resource packet of techniques, templates, and writing rituals
-
Optional 1:1 Coaching to support your next steps
Workshop Cost: $45
