Grow-your-own: how to cultivate, nourish and sustain your creative writing practice.

Do you want to write, but find it hard to get started or build momentum? Maybe your writing has fallen flat and your ideas feel tired, or you've got so many demands on your time and energy that writing feels like a luxury you can't afford. Wherever you're at, this course can help. Each week we'll explore a different way into writing through practical, playful experiments. You'll learn how to dismantle blocks to creativity, how to keep feeding your imagination, how to bring new life into your writing, and how to keep your writing going.

Anna Lawrence writes fiction, nonfiction and poetry. She has been running creative writing workshops across the West Midlands since 2010, and taught creative writing at BCU for seven years. Her poems were most recently published in Poetry Birmingham, and her novel, Ruby’s Spoon - in which a suspected witch and a suspected mermaid fetch up in a Black Country town - is published by Penguin.
