CREATIVE INSPIRATION FOR Your DAILY WRITING PRACTICE

GODS & MONSTERS

30-DAYS OF WRITING THE GREEK MYTHS

Heroes, Villains, Beasts and Beauty — explore the monstrous and the divine in your daily writing practice.

The Ancient Greek tales of power, passion, destiny and betrayal have captivated the human imagination for millennia, and been endlessly re-told and re-imagined for new eras and new audiences. How will they inspire you?

This April, join me for National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo) and thirty days of writing prompts where we’ll scale the Olympian heights and plumb the Hadean depths of the greatest stories ever told!

You want to write but…

you don’t know
where to start.

“I don’t know what to write or I have too many ideas and can’t pick one. I’d love to be part of a writing group but don’t feel I know enough yet.”

you’ve lost your writing mojo.

“I used to write regularly but am out of practice and have lost confidence and motivation. I need focus and a creative re-boot ”

you’re stuck in a writing rut.

“I’m bored of my writing and need fresh stimulus to create new work. I want to be stretched and inspired by exciting new voices.”

Imagine if you could:

  • Make a daily commitment to your writing.

  • Find new focus, inspiration and motivation.

  • Embrace the blank page; quiet the inner critic.

  • Experiment with fresh styles and subjects.

  • Connect with a supportive community.

  • Write at a time and a pace that suits you.

creative writing. Wherever you are on your writing
journey, the act of recording your thoughts and ideas

 FAQs

  • Recent studies have shown that people who write every day experience less stress, fewer mental health issues and improved health overall.

    And the best part? These rosy health benefits begin to kick in after only 4 days!

  • Often our creative time and space can seem like a luxury rather than an essential part of our self-care, and we resist making time for it.

    I recommend writing for 15 minutes as it’s a manageable chunk of time in our busy days. It’s short enough to not feel like a hardship but also just long enough for us to overcome that pesky internal resistance.

    Aim for 15 minutes each day and if inspiration hits and you find your writing groove, keep going!

  • Of course you can!

    The 30 day writing events are designed with the beginner or emerging writer in mind - the daily prompts are packed with ideas to stimulate your imagination and get you writing each day.

    Just go with an idea that speaks to you and jump in.

  • The 30 Day Challenge focuses on creating a new habit, overcoming obstacles in your writing practice and generating new materials.

    The aim is to encourage creativity and exploration free from critique or judgement, as it’s not helpful to the early stages of new work.

    I do not provide personal feedback on this programme. However, if you would like to receive feedback on a sample of your work at the end of this challenge, you can book a one-to-one mentoring session is here.
