Why is imagination important?
Imagination enables us to experience different realities; through it we can appreciate different perspectives, travel to new places and visualise possible futures. Whether conceiving realist or abstract concepts, our imaginative scope is almost limitless.
Accessing that potential isn’t always easy. For writers, mental ‘blocks’ often stem from an inability to piece together images and concepts. Knowing how to capture the essence of an image or idea and transform it into writing requires practise and knowledge of the right tools.

"Spent a fantastic afternoon with Francesca who inspired the group with tasks to power our imaginations and unleash the creative spirit within us. Thank you, the afternoon was really enjoyable and I shall go away inspired to write and fill those blank pages."
"I had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. The small group ensured connectivity and the ability to put pen to paper in a way I never thought possible has not only surprised me but also lit a spark and desire to continue to learn more."
"Thank you Francesca for a wonderful writing experience. I'm not sure where all that came from but you definitely helped unlock my imagination. I feel some stories brewing. I'd encourage everyone to give creative writing a go, it's very therapeutic, fun and interesting to hear how other people interpret things."
"I really enjoyed the creative writing workshop with Francesca. It was well structured and varied, and the right amount of guidance was provided. Having done this for the first time and as a non-experienced writer, I found the free writing exercises really therapeutic and left with a renewed sense of self-confidence in my writing skills. Would certainly recommend!"
