Course overview
Course description
Journaling for Writers is a writing workshop. You’ll learn about a range of journaling techniques that will help you bring out your creativity. It will be used to help you write expressively, with speed and to listen to your creative voice rather than critical one. You’ll learn tips how to make it part of your creative practice and build it into a helpful habit. You’ll have many timed exercises to practice. Journaling not only boosts your positive mindset but also confidence in your writing as you’ll be writing fast and free to spark ideas and new thoughts about your writing project. Writing with the brake off!
The class will be a mixture of writing exercises, discussion in the full group and sharing some of your work and reflections in small break out rooms. You’ll be invited to submit one piece of writing, something creative concocted from your journaling that reflects/builds on how you see journaling as a tool to aid your writing progress. The tutor will provide written feedback on each piece and it will be shared with the group for appreciative and developmental feedback.
