'Making Waves'

Of this workshop, Joy says…. “Disruption and trouble can be great elements to have in a story, but it isn't easy to involve these as we are always eager to get to the happy ending. In this workshop we will look at how to include problems and crisis and pace in our storytelling. How to excite and stir the reader well before the waves settle and are subdued and a quiet ending can occur. We will also consider the idea of ‘making waves’ as a theme or plot or even more literally how to invoke the energy, sound and scent of crushing waves as a soundscape for a poem.”

(Includes: Creative Writing Workshop with a former Cheshire Poet Laureate, Park Entry and Garden Entry)
