Women TIES loves to media sponsor our member's events including this one by Julie B. Hughes, Founder of the Run to Write Club Summer Sessions.

Many accomplished writers understand a fundamental truth that aspiring writers often overlook: the actual act of writing is not the most challenging part. The real hurdle is finding the motivation and discipline to sit down and begin writing.
Steven Pressfield calls this "Resistance" - the internal forces hindering our creativity. This insight resonated deeply with Julie B. Hughes, which is why she is leading the Run to Write Club.

By joining together, we can find strength and accountability to confront the internal barriers that can obstruct our writing practice.

NOTE: The August Write and Run event takes place out of Liverpool and is set for August 14th at the same time as this one, so mark your calendar to go to both.

Imagine the courage it takes to run a marathon—and the courage it takes to write about it. Julie B. Hughes personifies courage. She's not just a marathoner and author, she's a mother and a physical therapist. Julie isn't daunted by anything, whether it's writing about her challenging childhood, her running, or her family's journey through two cancer diagnoses. She's bold, forthright, and generous with the lessons she's learned and the strength she's uncovered.

Julie founded the Run to Write Club to unite her dual passions for movement and writing within a supportive community. She encourages members to tackle their challenges one step and one word at a time, believing in the therapeutic nature of storytelling. Her books and poetry inspire readers to approach life's difficulties with a spirit of curiosity, courage, and faith.
