line-height:15.75pt;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 15.75pt; font-size: 10pt;">If you are working on a specific writing
project and/or want help developing your creative writing skills you might like
to join a regular writing group. Improve your writing technique and benefit
from the structure of regular workshops.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I run two writing groups on
Monday and Sunday evening and have a couple of spaces in each one. I run them
in blocks of 12 and we meet alternate weeks. On the days we don’t meet, you
submit work to me (max 500 words) for one to one feedback via email which will
give you the opportunity to explore your own methods and writing rhythms at the
same time as receiving guidance and support. Members of both groups are warm
and committed, work in various professions and range in age from 16 to 60 years.</span></p>

line-height:15.75pt;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">We generally begin
each class by reading and examining text/s that illustrate the various topics.
This will be followed by writing exercises. In the final part of the session
everyone reads aloud from their work.</span></p>

line-height:15.75pt;background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal;">This takes place in a
relaxed, safe environment. It is also intended to be a fun, social setting
where you can meet new people, write, and share your words with others. You
will be able to write and receive feedback in a supportive atmosphere. Basic
written English skills are required.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Some of the subjects we will explore
are character, dialogue, conflict, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">pace, tension,
point of view, different genres, flashback, climax and resolution, irony and editing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">For further
