Writing Course 16th Jan - 13th Feb
I'm running another five week course in January for Sherborne Arts Link. I focus on the craft, the 'how-to' of writing. What a theme or premise is and why you ABSOLUTELY have to have one. Structure too is crucial. If you don't know, and follow, the guidelines of story telling your work will feel out of control, flabby and you'll lose the reader for sure. I'll tell you how many there are and what you need to put in each category. Disney used this format and you can't argue with their success. This is not a 'cake-tasting' course, which so many workshops are, but a hands on cookery lesson to kick start your creative writing.
