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.

'I think I
was in extremis when I did your workshop. I laid down
some demons as a result of it. You are a brilliant and
caring teacher.' Alana
‘You
have provided the right environment and inspiration
for someone like me who had only once before written
more than a page voluntarily! This weekend I
discovered a joy in writing that I hadn’t thought
possible. At last the right side of my brain has
moved out of first gear…Helen
‘Through your workshop my writing style really
developed and my manuscript evolved into a book. You
helped reawaken a passion for writing.’
