CREATIVE INSPIRATION FOR YOUR DAILY WRITING PRACTICE
MIRACLE MACHINE
30 DAYS OF WRITING THE BODY
The Human Body, your gravity-bound space ship – explore the human form as a source of creative inspiration in your daily writing practice.
Over the next 30 days, join me on a deep dive into all things corporeal and learn how to look at your physical, emotional & cognitive domain with fresh eyes and a sharpened pencil!
Each morning, you will receive an email with prompts in the form of a short essay about the day’s theme plus a writing tip, and oodles of poetry, visual and musical inspiration; everything you’ll need to whet your creative appetite, spark your imagination and start writing.
You want to write every day 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 so out of practice I’ve lost my confidence and motivation. I need focus and a creative re-boot ”
…you need to break out of your comfort zone
⤬
“I’m bored of what I’m 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.
Write at a time and a pace that suits you.
Are you ready to begin?
Hey there, I’m Angela,
a poet and educator…
…who firmly believes in the redemptive power of
creative writing. Wherever you are on your writing journey, the act of recording your thoughts and
ideas, has a power and agency all of its own.
Your voice and your creativity belong in the world
and helping writers tell their unique stories is at the core of everything I do as a teacher and facilitator.

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, a 20% discount on one-to-one mentoring sessions is available here.
