Do you get stuck with knowing what it is you need to write or how to get started with writing?
This half-day workshop looks at different creative strategies – from free-writing to clay modelling – to help you get started and stay focused on your writing and covers topics such as:
• Imagining yourself as a writer and writing yourself into the text
• Thinking about your readers and how this can be both inhibiting and encouraging
• How the process of writing brings about different meanings to the ideas we have
• How the writing process can be made more supportive and sociable
While the sessions are mostly focused on academic writing, it would still be helpful for those working on more creative or informal writing projects. We just ask that you come along with an idea or topic in mind, even if this is at its very early stages. We hope that you will leave the session with some writing that you have produced and some methods for thinking about writing more creatively!
