March Classes

March 26     Character Development   -  Tutor Shirley Eldridge

Using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, (MBTI – a personality inventory) we will gain a greater understanding of our own personality strengths, as well as others, and therefore be able to develop fictional characters who are more colourful and who function congruently. This session will be highly interactive and experiential. Bring a pad and pencil.

April  Classes

        

April 2 and 9       Choice words – make your words count

Tutor: Aileen Boyer

 

Writing the ordinary is a journey of exploration and discovery. It requires us to look beyond the surface and find meaning in the everyday moments of life. By developing an awareness of the power of words and engaging in writing exercises, we can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. So, come on this journey with me and explore the stories and poetry hidden in the ordinary. Together, we can uncover the beauty and fascination that lie just beneath the surface of our daily lives.
