WHAT: Workshop being held by TWPC
ABOUT: Exploring your creativity through writing can be joyous, wild, and crazy fun! Forget the boring ways you might have been taught in the past and become inspired by a take-away toolkit of professional tips and techniques to develop your writing. Designed and delivered by writing tutor and author of seventy published books, this full-day creative smorgasbord is suitable for all backgrounds and levels of experience (from those with an unwritten idea, to people who want to play with words, to others who might have a project they’ve already started - a novel, creative non-fiction, memoir, or a collection of short stories). In the supportive company of others, you will learn how to get unstuck, overcome procrastination and self-doubt, and tap into more original thinking, all while exploring and expanding your way with words and stories via a feast of exercises and activities.
