Do you remember your first love? Did you marry your childhood sweetheart? Did you have a glorious affair with a secret lover? Is your love story a fairy-tale ‘Happy Ever After’, is it simply shades of grey, or is it tragedy and heartbreak all the way?
Join us to write about REAL women in (and out of) love, using your own life experience, wishful thinking, or a subtle blend of both! And because love isn’t just about romance, what about celebrating the other loves in your life? Your passion for your home, garden, music, parents, pets, children, your car, or a beautiful view?
The good news is that there are hundreds of competitions at home and abroad for poets and short story writers, and during the course we’ll be learning insider tips and tricks about the fun and the pitfalls of entering those LOVE(ly) poetry and short story writing competitions.
This course is relaxed and friendly, and it’s suitable for all ages and abilities, including those with no experience of writing.
Price includes a comfortable ensuite room with tea/coffee making facilities and varied menus offering a selection of delicious meals, including buffet style cooked breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, tea in the afternoon, and a waiter service three course evening dinner with coffee/tea.
