How a writing workshop can turn your life around…
Of course, when I say turn your life around I actually mean turn your life upside-down.
There I was, happily writing my 1,600 words a day in order to meet the NaNoWriMo challenge of a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. Then I go on a Cornerstones writing workshop. Now I’m dumping my NaNoWriMo novel in favour of an old project – but I’m trying to keep up with the word count aim because clearly I’m unhinged.
But on the subject of writing workshops I can heartily recommend (in a pirate yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum kind of way) those run by Cornerstones. Lee Weatherly and Helen Corner really know what they’re talking about and are sincerely generous with their time and advice. If anyone is looking to hone their writing skills and understand the publishing game I would recommend signing up for one of their workshops.
It was also a delight to meet great people who are dedicated and talented writers. It was such a boost to spend time with them.
Right – back to the writing…
