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 workshops augmented with supportive learning materials and monthly 1:1's 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 has always wanted to write a book, or who has always wanted to know what is involved in actually becoming a Writer. You may have already started your journey but struggle to keep going or indeed finish. You might already be writing lots of content but are not getting the results you want. Or, perhaps you now just finally want  to get published. 

The Journey starts January 2022. Online once a week and for 40 weeks. Yes thats right, four zero, forty. By December 2022 you will have achieved your main aim and by the end of January 2022 you will know what that aim is, (if you don't know already). Each weekly workshop is 4 hours long with appropriate breaks and breakouts. Every month you will have a personal 1:1 with me.

I'm looking for 12 Passionate Individuals who sincerely want to write inspirational, appealing, and heartfelt content to connect with readers on a Global Scale.  The Journey is limited to only twelve candidates and we will all finally celebrate our success by spending four days at ARDOCH by the banks of Loch Lomond in December 2022.
