This half day (afternoon) course explores how we can all get pleasure out of writing. Perhaps you enjoy writing the occasional piece and would like a few tips on how to make it more effective. Maybe you would like to try your hand at poetry and have a go at a haiku! Do you want to record your family memories for your grandchildren, or do you want to experiment a little? Tutor, Elizabeth Hawksley has taught creative writing for many years and believes that laughter and learning go together. Everyone is welcome. This course will stretch your writing muscles and, at the same time, be fun to do. As ‘Writer in Residence’, Elizabeth will be looking for contributions to A Week at Dillington, 2012,which is open to all Dillington course members.
