How many times have words come into your mind that simply captured an experience in far more detail than a photograph could? Are you a lover of language, words and pauses and want to create a container for your thoughts? Over a period of six weeks, this practical course will take you on a journey through words spoken every day through to prose fiction, life writing and nature writing. Each session will help you to develop the skills you need to start writing with confidence.
Week One From the everyday to the unusual: experimenting with words
Week Two Self and other: experimenting with character
Week Three Home and elsewhere: experimenting with place
Week Four The great beyond: experimenting with nature writing
Week Five Filling the container: experimenting with form
Week Six The writing collection: editing and refining; looking back, thinking forwards.
