50 days of writing -  a thank you announcement

Hi everyone, it's hard to believe that nearly seven weeks of lock-down have passed already!

I hope isolation is treating you gently. One positive to take from the current crisis is just how generous and supportive people are when there's real human need. There's been an avalanche of online support out there.

When I saw how much people were struggling to write, I decided to do some mini workshops for free each morning to help keep everyone's creativity ticking over - including my own!

Some of you already join in regularly and enthusiastically. If you're on Facebook, join us at 9am each day (GMT), to use my Wellspring process to break down procrastination and ignite your imagination.  

https://www.facebook.com/FigmentCreativity/ 

And if that time and place doesn't work for you, then I've collated them here as a 30 Day Challenge to use at your own convenience.

The feedback on these has already been incredibly gratifying. The time and energy I've spent spend doing the 6 minute Wellspring workshops has been paid back in dividends by everyone’s kindness and has helped get me through some tough days myself, when I've felt tired, frustrated or impatient. 

As of tomorrow, it'll be fifty six-minute writing sessions I've led. Fifty seeds for poems and novel and short story ideas I now have that I wouldn't have had otherwise! And from having started them up for a small group of writing friends, now thousands of people have joined in from across the world. I still can't quite believe it.

Since it's an anniversary, I'm going to celebrate and thank people for their support by doing a few giveaways! People will have one week, starting now, to join in.

How to get involved:

If you've: 
  • read or listened to Wellspring and/or Magpie Mind
  • received one-to-one advice
  • or taken part in my workshops (including the mini-workshops each morning)

then please pop a review on Amazon, Audible or on the Figment Creativity Facebook page under the review section. I’m incredibly grateful for all starry luvvin sent my way. 

Every review (so if you review all three times, that's three entries) will go into a hat and three winners will receive prizes, either 
  • Kindle books,
  • Audible books,
  • or a little box of writing inspiration, with fifty items to use as writing prompts (see the picture below).

I want to ensure I'm supporting writers as best I can. Your reviews help me do that. You can help other writers too by posting your feedback online, since it lets them know what to expect from what I do.

You might like to let me know
  • how I've helped you with your writing and/or creativity
  • what else I can do to help you in your writing journey.

Above all, keep safe, keep well, and I look forward to seeing you on the other side of these crazy times - in better days.

Happy writing,
Laura
