PART 2: GETTING STARTED

Does lack of confidence hold you back? Or is it lack of inspiration? Do you want to write for fun, or with a view to publication? This practical workshop will help you write more freely and creatively, and will teach you how to overcome writer's block and silence your inner critic.

PART 3: CREATING CONVINCING CHARACTERS AND PLOT LINES

Do you want to write stories or novels for pleasure or publication? If so, you will need characters and plots. People make your work come alive, but creating convincing characters can be daunting. This 2-day workshop will focus on the process of creating a character and of putting that character in a believable plot. You can begin from scratch or bring your favourite characters along for honing.
Astrology is one of the tools we will be using. Astrology gives you a unique insight into people, and makes your characters leap off the page. Choose birthdays for your characters and you instantly know their personality, their secret hopes and dreams, their strengths and weaknesses, their vocabulary, and the mask they put on to meet the outside world. The beauty of it is you don't need to know anything about astrology before you begin the workshop, nor will you need to construct a birth chart. We will be using visual astrology and a specially written handbook which is part of the comprehensive course notes supplied.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced writer, this is an opportunity to excite your imagination in a small, supportive group. Come and enjoy the pleasure of writing!
