Writing Practice: An Introduction with Sue Fielding

Get going, loosen up and explore new territory through the six ‘rules’ of writing in this workshop series Writing Practice - an Introduction with Sue Fielding.

Sue Fielding will guide participants through the 6 ‘rules’ of writing practice developed by US writing teacher and author, Natalie Goldberg (ref. Writing down the Bones and Wild mind- Living the Writers Life). In a supportive and positive environment, participants will practice the ‘rules’ through a series of timed writing exercises.
