Have you always felt like you have a novel in you, but don’t know where to start? Or have you begun the process and found yourself stuck with a bad case of writer’s block? Do you feel the call of creative writing, but would like to learn more about the mechanics?
Consider this the shallow end of the pool, where you will learn all the basic elements of strong creative writing to put you in the best position to both create and continue your own writing practice.
You will research, outline and learn the skills needed to create a well-paced, unique dialogue, leaving with one complete, or nearly complete, short story which will illustrate all of the methods and tools you’ve acquired; a template and roadmap to apply to your creative writing life; inspiration and big juicy ideas – and the skill set to bring them to life as well as new connections and contacts– and potentially a writers’ group!
Saturday April 13 and Saturday April 20 at Bangalow Showgrounds.
