Is there a story in your head that won’t let you go? Do you long to write, but are not sure how to get started? Or have you started and stopped so many times you’ve lost count – along with your enthusiasm? This 90-minute workshop will provide you with the nuts and bolts necessary for starting your creative writing journey – and for keeping the momentum going. We’ll focus on the novel in particular, but most of what we discuss will be helpful, no matter what writing project you choose. Join us in the lovely surroundings of the new Ballyogan Library and bring your ideas with you.
