Stimulate your Writing!
Creative Writing Course:
This course is both
suitable for those who have participated in the previous course in Autumn 2017 and for students who are new to the course.
This course is
suitable for writers of all stages, especially those who may have writers’
block and need a gentle nudge to get their creative writing juices flowing
freely again. Through a series of writing exercises and a variety of stimuli
this course is designed to help you put pen to paper and chase the critic off
your shoulder that tells you, you can’t
write that! This course says yes, you
can!
As well as
encouraging you to write, whether poetry or prose, this course will also
provide group and tutor feedback in a safe and encouraging environment.
