“I discovered that I was associating writing with work rather than with the creative process. Now I’ve synchronized writing with the creative process.
What were the highlights of the two days? I gave myself permission to write, and I became hopeful during the process.”

“The workshop facilitator was superb, extremely knowledgeable in her subject matter. Furthermore, she utilised every single bit of feedback from the participants and wove the information into the learning programme. No comment was ever ignored or rejected. In short, this made the workshop extremely motivating and engaging.”

“Unashamedly, the highlight was the feedback session on the writing I was asked to produce. I learned that I have a writing voice that people respond really positively to (and I needed to know that). It was extremely valuable—it gave me confidence and impetus to carry on.”

“This was an inspiring and enjoyable workshop that gave a lot of useful information on how to get started in writing and, most importantly, how to keep it up! The feedback on the participants’ work was excellent.”

“This course was exactly what I needed to stop making mental loopholes or excuses for myself and just start writing! I feel very inspired; I woke up today with the words jumping to the page.”

“I learnt a structure to get started with writing, both in terms of how to structure my time and how to structure my thoughts around what to write.”
“The highlight (although it’s hard to choose) was probably the chance to receive constructive feedback on a piece of my own writing which was read aloud to a group of talented writers.”

“The method we used liberated me from my previous inhibitions about writing. I was surprised by how many stories surfaced. How did it feel to write a piece overnight? It worked really well. I had the feeling the workshop had already put me in the bubble I needed to be in to be able to write, to concentrate, and to focus. It felt like all I needed to do was keep going. To be honest, I think I could have gone on all night.”

“’Simply Writing’ helped me to start writing without having to put too much thought into, finding pleasure in writing something on the spot.”
