Venture into the deep dark woods with an inspiring exercise for your writers’ group from Julie Phillips
The truth is often stranger than fiction. It’s what writers thrive on, our bread and butter. From fact we weave our creative spell to intertwine reality with a little fictional magic. Think of your best friend retelling a tale in the pub about how he once averted a major disaster at work, or your children regaling you with tales of how they scored that goal in the last seconds of the game to win the match. Embellishment is often at play as we ramp up our starring role.
