Residential writing retreat
April 2007
2 consecutive days with overnight stay in university accommodation. Included sessions on: Writing pains and writing pleasures; the inner critic; loosening writing muscles with poetry and autobiography; the links between creative and academic writing; time to work on personal projects; one-to-one guidance. Plus group meal and social time.
I am not scared anymore and feel that there are an infinite number of words at my disposal
I’ve written 2000 words in the last 2 afternoons thanks to your workshop
I’ve felt very encouraged and supported here. There has been a good atmosphere of equality and non-competitiveness in the group… Hard to achieve I think, so very well done to the facilitators
