WRITE! @ The Stove Cafe
July 5 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
Welcome to the July edition of WRITE! a monthly creative writing workshop with author Karl Drinkwater.
WRITE! is all about letting your imagination guide your hand. In each session we’ll chat about a writing-related topic, then provide prompts and a theme, and the opportunity to write based on the inspiration. It might be a character sketch, or a piece of description or dialogue. The key thing is that it will be your words, and they’d never have been born if you’d stayed at home that night.
The short piece you write could be practice or a creative outlet. However, it could become the seed of a short story, or part of a longer work. Hopefully we’ll end each friendly and informal session with the opportunity for some people to read out what they wrote, as a celebration of the new words.
Open to: everyone! It doesn’t matter whether you’ve never written anything before, or if you’re an established author looking for a brief shot of espresso creativity. It’s not a course, so you can attend any or all sessions, as you wish.
This months theme…
“Myths and Legends; Fairy stories, Fables and Folk tales”
As some were unable to attend the April session of WRITE, Karl will be repeating the topic “Myths and Legends; Fairy stories, Fables and Folk tales”.
If you attended the session on the 5th of April 2023, you will be the familiar with the prompts that will be used in this session. Feel free to join and write something different from last time!
So come along. We’ll provide the inspiration and a supportive group of new friends. All you need to do is bring your pen*, engage your heid, and write!
(* Of course it’s fine to bring a laptop or gadget instead of pen and paper: words are words, whatever the medium!)
The Stove Cafe will be serving drinks and nibbles from 6.30pm – 7pm
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: As WRITE! is a very popular event, you must pre-book via Eventbrite to secure a place at this workshop. Please do not arrive at the workshop without a pre-booked ticket, as we may have to turn you away due to reaching full capacity in our event space.
