On Writing. The journey...

In 2002 I returned from Shanghai (China) to embark on writing my first book. I decided that I could afford to take six months out of the Rat-Race to follow my passion and begin my journey of writing, seriously... 

A great deal of rain and therefore water has rolled under the bridge. I have weathered tyrants and tears and I have even asked myself many times what motivates me to carry on...

It is challenging to admit some of my greatest motivations have come from being told I shouldn’t, I couldn’t, and I wouldn’t. No names. Oh, except one particular Lt Colonel in the Royal Engineers... 

It is oftentmes more difficult to spot the little boy who has been bullied and bolsters his own ego to merely compensate for his own demons and his deepest fear that he himself is inadequate...

If I don’t know you yet and you are still reading this, then there is every chance that you are thinking about continuing or maybe even starting your writing journey with me. There are risks and rules...

Imagine Mamie saying this to me over two decades ago. “If you can’t handle me telling you the truth about your writing without getting emotionally irregular then this is probably not for you…”

My unique offer uses a mix of interactive workshops, real world examples and experiential learning to take you on a trajectory of tried and tested approaches, techniques, values, and beliefs so that you can harness what you need to continue or begin your journey 'On Writing'.

Learn about the Writer’s Magic. Understand how to cultivate the temperament of a Writer. Develop authenticity and learn how to see for the first time or again as a Writer. Discuss the four difficulties of writing at all. Learn the rules of the Craft. Connect with your peers and become part of our Writing Alliance.

Weekly 2-hour workshops augmented with supportive learning  materials will unmask your inner writer, guide you through the art of  writing authentically and show you how to turn those ideas you have into  a right good read. 

Anyone who from around the globe who has always wanted to write a book, or who has always wanted to know what is involved in actually becoming a Writer. 

Writers who have started on their journey but struggle to keep  going or indeed finish or Writers who are writing lots of content but  not getting the results they want. Or, even Writers who now finally want  to get published. 

Perhaps you simply sincerely want to write inspirational,  appealing, and heartfelt content to connect with readers on a global  scale.
