THIS MODULE WILL BE HELD VIA ZOOM. Through the sessions we will explore different ways of how to start the creative writing process. We will touch on the neuro science of creative writing. We will discuss the barriers that the mind can put in place to stop this process. We will look at tools that can be taken away and be used after the workshop has finished. Each session will involve at least 15 minutes of personal creative writing. Please note, whilst sharing your writing will be encourage, no one will be forced to share their writing. Writing tasks will be suggested between sessions. Week 1: An introduction into creative writing. We will draw up a group agreement on how we want to work together.
