Writing Workshop

Yesterday at Pennybank Writers we had Jane Borodale, historical novelist and Mere writer-in-residence (https://www.thetowerstories.co.uk) , run a workshop on using fully the five senses - sight, sound, touch, taste and smell - to ensure depth and atmosphere in our creative writing. As prompts for our two timed pieces, we had, respectively, excerpts from letters by famous writers and extracts from early nineteenth century newspapers. The ensuing critique provided an invaluable guide for our future endeavour.
