About the workshop: This course aims to achieve the discipline of daily writing practice, to achieve fluency, to ‘know yourself’, thinking about belief and perspective, thinking about the writer’s relationship with books, voices and rhythms, to develop the (split) personality of a writer; to understand the different roles of the conscious critic and the unconscious child, to create characters in their full context – psychological, social, political, historical, and to examine the ‘seven basic plots’.
