  • Reverse-engineer well-known stories and opinion pieces
  • Write fiction, non-fiction and faction
  • Play with various genres and learn to use the right one
  • Pace oneself – quick turnover versus long projects in a writer’s repertoire.

“I found it very useful to kick-start some story ideas I had been keeping aside. It also helped me to see where I was falling short: character development, dialogues, etching negative characters well, good narration.”
“The important thing is you demonstrated how to be inspired by the simplest everyday things around us, and to write diligently and yet joyfully…and to go beyond the autobiographical.”
“Thankyou for a wonderful workshop! i have recommended it to many a friends. I still have grin on my face about many writing exercises that we did.”
“Not only was it interesting and informative ... it was also relaxed, enjoyable yet so very motivating to some of us hesitant writers.”
“The workshop made me turn to my ‘writerly self’ again. I especially liked the open style which stimulated discussion and your genuine interest in helping us find our writing path.”

    Basics of Creative Writing - Virtual Workshop

    I am a retired Company Senior Executive. I have retired recently. Post retirement I am keen to develop & nurture few of my hobbies , writing is one of them. I had joined the workshop to learn the basic concept of Creative writing. And I must admit I have not only learned but also enjoyed the Workshop immensely. Our Mentor Mrs Gouri Dange was excellent. Also interacting with other participants was a great learning experience. I would like to thank LIving Bridge for this wonderful initiative and would definitely like to remain in close touch with the Living Bridge, Please include my name in your active mailing list and share anything that you find Educative as well as Interesting .
