Critical thinking for surprising results!  Jumpstarting ideas – creating stories!

You don’t have to be a writer – but you can inspire yourself to write!                                    
                                                                                           
Brainstorm and tap into your creativity – the results can amaze you!


Robert Raymer’s 4-hour Creative Writing Workshop covers the following areas:

How to organise a story – using colours, fears, objects, sensory details, what-if, festive occasions, unusual experiences, people and locations, feelings and emotions – things to avoid when writing – writing a story

Q&A Session

Good. I assume that's a suburb or an area of KK. I'm flying into KK. Contact the organizers,see names on post and they'll direct you there.
