Clic Creative Writing Workshop

I've been a member of TheSprout for a few years now and although I'm mainly involved behind the scenes I have written a few articles for them – and have been the subject of a few too. Last month I ran a creative writing workshop focusing on short stories in Cardiff Central library which was well received and as a result CLIC, the parent organisation behind Sprout have asked if I can run a few more sessions around south Wales.

Yesterday was the first of those – I ran the session from 10-4 for about fifteen young adults in Miskin, near Mountain Ash. In that time I covered a variety of topics ranging from how to build a character to the difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd person perspectives, as well as making stories on the fly. The session also includes an OCN accredited qualification in Creative Writing which the participants seemed quite excited about.

I didn't think to take any photos, but everybody enjoyed themselves and I'm looking forward to running another session in the near future. As they're arranged I'll announce them on my appearances page.
