Our summer workshops have begun! (If you missed our post on this, click here to read all about our summer workshop series, funded by Healthy Minds anti-stigma fund)
The first workshop was on Monday, and we talked about creative non-fiction, the emotional weight of writing about the self, escapism and comfort in fiction, and lots more. It was a great session, and I think we’re all looking forward to the next one.
Towards the end of the session, we all took part in a writing prompt, designed to help us get started with some creative non-fiction of our own, and also inspire reflective and mindful feelings. I thought I’d share the prompt below, so you can take part even if you couldn’t make it along to the session!
Pick an early memory (as early as you can remember!) and write about it. If you feel lost, think about the five senses: what could you smell, hear, touch, taste, feel?
I’d love to read your responses to this prompt. If you’re interested in sharing work, or getting put on the community correspondent mailing list (where you’ll get regular emails from me about writing opportunities, workshops and other resources!) then get in touch by emailing maddy@mindwavesnews.com, messaging @mindwaves_scot on Instagram or tweeting us @mindwaves1
