Creative Writing

Last night we went all the way to Amsterdam to attend a creative writing workshop organized by Open University UK.

The session took place in an English Bookshop along Lauriegracht.  There were around 14 of us including the facilitators.  David Stephenson is the lead of the evening and he took us through the basis of creative writing by asking us to work in a group of 2 to 4, first described about the last book we read.  The highlight was when he gave each group a black and white photo and then asked us to observe the photo carefully and write down our impression and our story.  It is amazed that later when we shared our stories, each of us, despite of working on the same photo, came out with completely different story.

It was Johannes that first enrolled himself to this session, I am sort of just coming along person.  I also benefited from the session and hopefully I will be able to apply some of this skill in my blog writing...
