‘Unblocking creative arteries’

Join us for this exciting creative writing workshop with former Cheshire Poet Laureate, published author, playwright and experienced workshop facilitator, Joy Winkler.

Of this workshop, Joy says…. “Sometimes we feel the need to write, but the ideas seem to be out of reach or simply not there. In this workshop we will look at techniques to harness inspiration and unblock our creativity. This will involve some fun exercises and other ideas for methods of engaging with a reluctant imagination.

Of course we could use the theme as a plot scenario too. For example a story about a writer driven to extreme lengths to beat their block or about a harridan of a publisher who won't accept that the promised sequel is not even a twinkle in their best-selling author’s eye.”

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