THE VENUE    OUR PRESENTERS | I'm looking forward to our next workshop, Waking Your Imagination on March 18th. This workshop is packed with information on how to build an exciting can't-be-put-down story. We will follow the story arc and have fun as we build on each scene by using our imagination to look at all possibilities. Bookings are flowing in so it should be a fun and informative event. How do we stimulate our imaginations and why do we have to? We are all born with an imagination. You only have to watch small children at play to see that. So what happens to that imagination? In my opinion and experience, some parents, some teachers, and others stifle it. People who didn't have their imagination squashed create all inventions and write amazing stories. To do this they have to use their imagination and believe that anything is possible. So back to the question of how we can stimulate our imaginations. During the Waking your imagination workshop on March 18th we will do some exercises on using our imagination and I will show you how to develop your stories to make them exciting and memorable. By the time you leave, you will have stimulated the imagination you were born with and will be able to apply it to your story idea. I hope to see you there.
