Free and Inspiring Writing Courses

Hi all, I do hope your Monday is going well. But if not – our days are so up and down just now – perhaps this is something that will inspire and brighten your day.

It comes curtesy of a lovely writing friend from Durham who sent me a link to the create-write-connect initiative and three free writing courses (listed below.) It’s really worth clicking on the links to read the details of each course. I did this and found something I thought exciting and different.

I made a donation and signed up – I wonder if you can guess for which course. I think/hope it will really enrich the work I’m doing on my novella.

So, sign up, I say, even if you’ve written nothing for weeks, months or ever before – nothing to lose and everything to gain…
