Are you interested in analysing your writing process to undo the knots, recharge, unwind and motivate? Join this intimate group workshop as we develop and integrate creative thinking tools into the way we write. We’ll be looking at our own individual projects and our writing practice (where, when and how you write), for a more personalised skill development session identifying needs and solutions.
In this session, each participant will bring a current writing project with a problem that needs solving. We will use the ‘Change Star’ exercise to evaluate current writing needs and what we want to change, as well as enhance and develop writing practice with creative/divergent thinking. We will also look at the transactional analysis model, when and where you write, and how you can integrate creative thinking into your writing practice in terms of your environment, routine and rituals – such as use of visual aids, mindfulness, walking, reading and more. Finally we’ll be using individual and collaborative tools with your work, learning how to use creative/divergent thinking tools to tackle your book idea/short story/essay.
In this 2hr session we will:
- Take a look at some coaching techniques
- Complete practical writing exercises
- Q+A with author, lecturer and clinical arts therapist, Susannah Crossman
This course is open to beginners and experienced writers, poets, essayists, novelists, short story writers as well as teachers.
This session is limited to 15 participants as it is bespoke and uses empowering coaching techniques! Participants can either share written work (max 2-3 pages), or the ideas behind their work. This is not mandatory but highly encouraged.
