“How to Write with Passion and Discipline” Creative Writing Workshop with Anette Pollner”
4 Monday mornings from 6 June 2011
Continuing our series of innovative creative writing workshops in Bangkok.
For any creative writing project longer than a short poem you need to balance your creative writing from the unconscious mind and designing the architecture of your project. You also need to manage your time and energy, both on a day to day level and over a longer period of time. Writing is like a long term relationship: keep the passion burning and find the discipline of continuing towards your goal even when you don't feel like it. The workshop is suitable for writers of any genre and writing projects of any length. If you are writing a novel, a memoir, or a non fiction book, you already know what this is all about. If you write many shorter pieces, this workshop will help you to continue your journey as a writer.
'Passion and discipline' follows on from our previous workshops 'How to tell your story', 'How to find your writer's voice', and ‘Writing from the unconscious mind’. It is open to all writers. Previous (and continuing) participants range from absolute beginners to published and prize winning international authors. Join our emerging community and sign up at bkk.writers.workshops@yahoo.com
Ms Pollner is the co-author and editor of ‘Bangkok Blondes’ a collection published by the Bangkok Women’s Writers Group in 2007 and still a Thai English language bestseller, and author of ‘Heart of the Desert’, published by Drollerie Press (US) in 2009. She writes a regular column in the Big Chili, and her travel mystery ‘The company of frogs’ was shortlisted for the longbarn first novel prize in the UK. She has been featured as a local author in the Star Malaysia, the Bangkok Trader and the Bangkok Diary, on Thai TV (‘Good Morning Bangkok’). She is also a winner of the 2010 international Seven Fund essay prize ‘The Morality of Profits’. During her 15 years in London she studied creative writing at the City Lit and City University where she subsequently also taught, as well as at the Arvon Foundation and the Groucho Club and was a regular reader at the Poetry Society. In her ‘first life’ she was a theatre and opera director and has decades of experience in unfolding creativity with artists of all genres.
The workshop runs in June 2011 on the following Monday mornings: June 6, 13, 20 and 27, 9:30PM - 12:30PM.
Location: Neilson Hays Library, 195 Surawong Road, BTS Chong Nongsi.
