We all have (or don't have) a home, and it carries so much meaning, whether participants are writing for their characters or themselves.
The first session (Saturday 20 September) will comprise several short exercises from which the first draft of a poem will be generated.
In the second session (Sunday 21 September) participants will write a complete scene. There will be time for participants to read their work aloud at the end of both sessions, either to the whole group or in breakout rooms.
This clip lets participants know what to bring in advance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uISsf5kzPM

We’re experimenting with a sliding scale fee model, allowing for the Writer’s Way events to be offered at multiple price points based on your financial circumstances.
For it to work, we’re relying on principles of truthfulness and accountability.
Teachers deserve to be paid and course participants deserve to attend personal development courses which recognise the multiple reality of economic access and privilege that exist.
Fee option 1 is a reduced rate for those whose budget genuinely cannot accommodate option 2.
Fee option 2 represents the fair and true cost of the course.
Fee option 3 is for those who are able to pay for themselves and pay extra towards making it possible for another person to attend a LRC writing course at a nominal rate.
