Have you ever wanted to attend a writing group or class? Wondered whether you’ll fit in or if it will be to your liking? Why not sign up for the free taster sessions offered by Dorset Skills and Learning as part of Adult Learners’ Week – Festival of Learning in June. There are two sessions available Friday June 6th from 10.00 – 12.00 at Canford Heath Library and Friday June 13th at Canford Cliffs Library from 2.00 – 4.oo. More details are available on the Skills and Learning website or by calling 01202 262300.

Writing Classes are a great way to keep motivated. When you feel like your writing is going nowhere there’s nothing like being among other writers and sharing your struggles,your hints and tips. Notice that I didn’t say ‘would-be’ writers – if you are writing then you’re a writer. If you can’t make the taster sessions why not look out for  a longer course or perhaps look for a group near you. You can find details of most groups at the National Association of Writers’ Groups (NAWG)website. Happy hunting.
