January Wind

No, not the leftover Christmas sprouts, but some brilliant descriptive 'windy' writing by our young authors. Get a load of this:

Wolf Wind

The wind howls at the racing skies like a lunatic wolf.
It pounds across the stone-cold path.
The freezing grass quivers.
The moon hides.
The wolf-wind shadow scares.
I scream; my voice gets swallowed in the gust of fierce wind.
Gone...

That's by  Ellie, and we love it! Year 6, no less.

And while we're here - a quick mention for our Memoir Workshop running on 22nd January at #Judsons Wine Bar, Pocklington. A good time will be had by all, we hope - we'll be doing our best to unlock all those childhood memories and put them to good use.

Cheers!

thoughttree Writing Workshop Roadshow!

Happy January all! Off we jolly well blog again - this time to announce our latest Writing Workshop, currently being roadshowed around East Yorkshire.

This time we are all about writing memoir - the first of this series ran this morning, and we are now set fair to repeat it this evening and next week, so look out for us.

Today we delved into our childhood memories, using visualisation and stream of consciousness writing. We mapped significant childhood locations, using sensory memory. We explored the way 'factual'  memory becomes fiction with crafting and reworking. In short, we had a jolly nice time at #southcavecastle - we will certainly be back!

Soon to be repeated at #judsonspocklington and looking forward to it.
