Are you passionate about writing, but struggling to get started? Or do you have a writing project you’re stuck on?
Helga Flatland and Mikkel Bugge invite you to an inspiring writing course in Nesbyen. 20th and 21st of June.
Learn concrete methods for developing an engaging idea, building strong story structure, and creating believable characters. How do you write lively dialogue, edit your own text – and keep writing when all you want to do is give up? Through a combination of instruction, writing exercises, and personal feedback, you’ll learn useful tools for writing texts that engage and move the reader. Helga and Mikkel provide personal feedback along the way, offering tips and tricks you can carry with you throughout your writing process.
This course is about trying, exploring, and creating – without pressure, but with lots of inspiration.
