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
2 day non-residential writing retreat for lecturers held at the University of Brighton, March 2007
Content as for the residential retreat, but delivered over 2 consecutive days with no overnight stay.
It has given me a real lift – suggested some insights that I already feel will be helpful
I thought I might get a tip or two but instead I have a change of attitude which is much more valuable.
Thank you so much for such a stimulating and enjoyable retreat. It was a rare treat to able to think so freely and hopefully creativity about the kinds of ways we all put pen to paper
