If you're reading this, you've probably been writing for a while and have a project or two that are almost complete. Or a project you keep meaning to come back to, or one you'd get done if only... This series of Sundays of Gentle Creativity will be a space to take your project further, choose the one project that holds your curiosity and fascination, and explore the creative potential of letting go of a project. You'll explore the importance of prioritising, even if only for a short while, and become clearer about the motivation behind your work and how it fits into, and emerges from other aspects of your life. As with all Sundays of Gentle Creativity workshops, we'll spend time writing together, sharing work in breakout rooms and as a group, and keep an eye on each other's progress through regular updates and feedback. The focus will be on the writing itself, as well as on taking advantage of the company of other writers to take stock of your wealth of written work and how to use what you already have to plan ahead. Let's write for the pure love of writing and allow that delight to seep into all our writing projects.
