What draws you to favourite fairy-tales, poetry, stories and song lyrics and how these can be used to inspire you to write.
Gaining confidence in your own voice and replace fear of rejection with the joy of completing a piece.
This course will look at how the process of writing can help with well-being by working with memory, everyday surroundings and imagination. It will help participants to rediscover the joy of writing and set writing goals which are achievable, challenging and inspiring.
Participants will be invited to write with prompts given during the sessions and invited to write with weekly topics taken from their immediate surroundings.
The emphasis with each prompt is to have fun and to use writing as a way to communicate, articulate and develop individual voices and writing styles.
Each week participants will be invited to share their work in the format of “What I got done. What got in the way. What I got done instead.” This allows participants articulate if there is a pattern that has developed that takes them away from their writing and what they can to do refocus.
You will look what draws you to favourite fairy-tales, poetry, stories and song lyrics and how these can be used to inspire you to write.
You will also look at what the process of submission is depending on genre and individual aspirations. Through writing for well being, you will examine how writers can gain confidence in their own voice and replace fear of rejection with the joy of completing a piece.
