Hello all,
Enquiries are coming in for the Creative Writes October workshops and beyond!
We will be returning to North Bank house & gardens in Muswell Hill, which provides the perfect writing inspiration.
There will be workshops on Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Please see this blog & my website https://www.creativewrites.co.uk/ for dates.
As ever, I will be adapting the content to suit the needs of the group and there will be a fun, engaging selection of timed creative writing exercises to motivate and equip you to continue writing…
Reading diary…
In the past couple of weeks I have read a selection of work by female authors, which have been enjoyable and engaging.
The authors include the American Elizabeth Berg (I read one of her novels ‘Until The Real Thing Comes Along’ & I will be reading her short story collection ‘Ordinary Life,’ next) and British journalist & author Jacky Hyams (whose autobiography ‘Bombsites & Lollipops,’ takes us through her childhood and teenage years – growing up in London’s East End post World War Two). It is always interesting to hear stories told with strong narrative voices and both do this well.
I am now on to ‘A diary of The Lady – My First Year As Editor ,’ by Rachel Johnson, for my book group – so will keep you posted re thoughts! Having never picked up a copy of ‘The Lady,’ I am intrigued by this account – told by Boris Johnson’s sister.
Itching to write today…I will do my favourite thing later and seek out good coffee while I ‘empty my head’ and see which words appear on the page!
Writing Idea…
Try 10 minutes today with the writing topic ‘I’m thinking of!’ Try not to stop, think or edit! Write the title and go! Let me know how you get on!
And a reminder…
