With your analytical mind you will then structure, clarify and polish your words so they shine and resonate with other people.

When you write like this from the heart, it is not hard work at all – looking for a deeper meaning, making connections, fossicking around in the memory of the rich garden of your life. It is the loveliest thing – for suddenly you see that everything has significance.

‘’Finding the Writer in You’’ is an active hands-on workshop. You will be astonished at the amount of writing you do. You will also be astonished how different your writing is on the second day from the first. Initial apprehension is overtaken by a feeling of personal power and the excitement of discovery.


What you will gain:

• A joy in writing.
• An understanding of the writing process.
• The two vital rules that will breathe life into your writing.
• The courage to dig deep and draw on your own experiences.
• The easy techniques to switch on your creative brain.
• The even easier, but often ignored, techniques to switch on your editing brain.
• And you will enjoy a sharing with like-minded people.

Who will benefit by attending?

• If you are new to writing and want to understand the process of writing and gain maximum benefit and enjoyment
   for the hours you devote to your practice – then this is for you.
  
• If you are interested in writing and have perhaps tried a number of different genres but have no idea whether you
  are any good – then this is for you.
  
• If you have been writing for some time but feel your writing has not yet ‘lifted off’ – then, this is for you.
  
• If you wish to focus on uncovering and crafting your personal story – then, this is for you.
  
• If you primarily write non-fiction and would like to learn how to elevate your writing and engage your readers
  by learning fiction techniques – then this is for you.
  

Magic takes place in this workshop. As you begin to tap into your own creative power and energy you may view past experiences in a different light. People are often transformed by what they discover about themselves and others.
