The fear of the blank page, or the fear of finishing a piece of writing, strikes writers of all genre, at any stage of their career.

In this practical one-day course, trainer and writer Gulara Vincent will guide you through your writers’ block, and show you how you can overcome it for yourself.

For most writers, you are not blocked because you lack inspiration, but because of your fear of failure, exposure and success. When you acknowledge and heal those fears, your writing takes care of itself.

Through a series of practical exercises, in a supportive group of fellow writers, you will learn to identify what’s preventing you writing, and how to overcome it. There will be moments of sharing and of personal reflection, and you can share as much as you feel comfortable with. There will also be a series of writing challenges to help you approach your writing in different ways.

You will come away from the one-day short course with tools to help you face the blank page in the future, and deal with writers’ block if it affects you again.

Suitable for writers with all levels of experience, including beginners, writing in any genre.
