We're delighted to announce that our second writers' workshop, on the Natural Environment, was a resounding success and we had some great feedback!
This time we were getting our heads around the natural environment. We unpacked some of Susan Hill's skills in evoking the bleak marsh landscape of the Woman in Black, then had a go ourselves at working with environment, colour and mood. Some fantastic responses.
Then we dug a little deeper, exploring how we can use landscape and weather to evoke a sense of character and emotion. Finally, we managed to pack in a quick exploration of 'man as creature' - focusing on good ole Of Mice and Men (Lennie, naturally) and a taste of Helen Dunmore.
And all that in our two and a half hour workshop! Gotta say, totally action packed.
Look out for the next one! Coming in January our 'Writers' Roadshow' - Memoir writing. Can't wait!
