Creative Writing 101
Join us in celebrating the NSW Seniors Festival with a range of exciting activities!
Our experiences (and our memory of them) give us our identity and are the great reward from a life lived.
Writing can take many forms but it's always about transforming experience, reflection and insight into treasure forever. In a fast-changing world, writing your life-review, memoir, family-history, becoming a diarist or blogger for the first time in your life... can be an important gift to yourself as well as a priceless inheritance for family and friends. Or perhaps you know you have a novel in you, or want to gather and shape your collection of short stories or personal essays, or have delayed until now that non-fiction treatise or meditation in your area of expertise or passion.
Unlike ballet, writing is an ambition and art that favours age, and many successful authors (eg. America's Harriet Doerr) don't turn to the page until 70 and beyond, and yet they still get their body-of-work out there.
In this 1 hour and 1 minute (1:01) introduction to writing well, learn a couple of key guiding principles and try out a couple of exercises and discover how being part of a writing group is friendly and fun. AND IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU LEARN, and like what you write— why not keep going and enrol for the two session workshop 'TALE WELL TOLD ' that begins the very next day (Sat 15th & 22nd March.)
This class is part of the NSW Seniors Festival, with this year's theme: It's Time to Shine.
