What better time than Spring to audit your writing; to look at where you are, where you want to be and what it is you really want to write? All writers whatever their experience need time for this kind of exploration and reflection.
And what better time than Spring to begin writing; to dare yourself to pick up the pen for the very first time. If you’ve never written but have always wanted to or equally if you are a more experienced writer who needs inspiration and a spring clean and you live here in the North East, then why not join Wendy and I for the first in a series of four, free, Back to Basics workshops at Bishop Auckland Town Hall this Wednesday at 2pm ?
As always we have lots of hot writing planned and, unusually for workshops, we’ve decided that we will not be reading out. Reading out can be very off putting, scary even for the beginner and we don’t want that. We want everyone, whatever their experience of writing to enjoy the session and to go away inspired.
If you fancy coming along there are more details here on Wendy’s blog – if you can’t make it you should take a look anyway and see what you’re missing!
I’m looking forward to Wednesday very much. Natalie Goldberg, one of my writing heroes, says that what inspires her writing is teaching. I have to agree. I’ve never been involved in running a workshop that hasn’t given me new enthusiasm and inspiration for my own work.Hope to see you there.
If you’re looking for competition/submission information and writing thoughts and inspirations but you don’t live in the North and can’t come along to workshops then why not sign up (on the right) for my weekly newsletter (arrives in your mail box on Mondays). Its entirely free, safe from spam and there is no obligation as you can easily unsubscribe.
