Unsolicited writing advice, no. 2876234: Don't worry too much about crafting the perfect first line.

Next online writing workshop will be in June on Sunday 8th, 2pm-4pm. Sorting out ideas for it, more info to be announced. Meanwhile, I'm planning a wee holiday to give myself some rest and diversion after an autumn & winter of various medical issues. Practicing what I teach - self-care is important!

Thank you so much to the creative people who came to my online workshop Power of Imagination on Sunday. Wonderful writing and chat, such a variety of ideas. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! writingforwellbeing.co.uk
