The Write Tools for ADHD Writers Challenge: Did You Miss It?

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Finding The Write Tools for ADHD Writers

Hi, Reader! September might be “back to school” season, but who says grown-up writers don’t deserve fresh stationery and shiny new beginnings too? For me, September has been less about timetables and more about getting back to writing.

This month I ran The Write Tools for ADHD Writers Challenge - a free 5-day Voxer challenge that unlocks five of the biggest ADHD writing blocks. From editing too soon, to planner paralysis, to the dreaded half-finished draft, I shared tools to help writers shift gears and start making progress again.

​
If you missed it, no problem - you can still join in. All you need to do is:

  1. Create your free Voxer account.
  2. Add me.
  3. Start unlocking those writing blocks with a little support and a lot of fun.

Your half-finished drafts are quaking already!

Find me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Substack for more gentle writing prompts, behind-the-scenes rambles, and neurodivergent-friendly bookish encouragement.

Gail Doggett - Writing Mentor and Coach

I've been working with writers for two decades, from acquiring fiction and non-fiction at a major publishing house, all the way to being in 1:1 critique relationships, and accountability partnerships.

I bloody love talking about stories, and characters, ideas and I'm also very aware of what it's like to feel stuck and wanting to bang your head on the desk (please don't do that!).

And for all of us neurodivergent folk, as a late-diagnosed ADHDer myself, I also want to reiterate that there's no shame either in getting stuck or just feeling like you can't get yourself together to do this, even though it's all that you can think about. But I do want you to tell your story.

Get in touch, and let's see what we can do together!

Hi, Reader! It's been gorgeous seeing some of your lovely faces in Write Club, and I know that a lot of good work has come out of it, which makes me SO happy. I tried it as an experiment but being totally honest, it's not working like I thought it would in its current iteration. When you add in the fact that April is mostly eaten up by school holidays here: I'm pausing Write Club for now. All remaining Sunday and Wednesday sessions in March 2026 will still run. It will resurface, and will...

Hi, Reader! I was almost late for school pick up today. Not just because while I was trying to find shoes suitable for this crappy weather, I discovered that one half of my favourite boots had a nail through the sole (seriously, how didn't I notice this while wearing them?) but because I had a LIGHTBULB moment. I'm going to run a write-along for the rest of March. This thought just popped into my mind. And my first instinct was to reply -- Yes. Yes I am. I'll be honest here, this is as much...

Hi, Reader! Hello! I’m thinking about running some workshops, which might be right up your alley - or not, at all. So I thought I’d ask. This isn’t a “please fill in this survey” thing, more that I’m honestly figuring out what would be most useful. You’re one of my newsletter subscribers, and I’d like to make Whizzy Brain useful for you. Although I also realise I don’t actually know why you’re here, which feels like something I probably should have asked before now. Maybe you’re interested in...
