WRITERS’ CIRCLES
To paraphrase Shakespeare, all life is drama, and we are all actors on its stage. Little surprise then, that for all writers, and especially those who write plays or for the screen, there is nothing better than seeing your words and vision come alive through actors. Scriptwriting is so much more than words on a page and writers of prose and poetry can still learn a lot from the scriptwriters.
Writing can be a lonely occupation and when the words are going down onto the page we can become too close to our own work. The story might not be working as well as we would like. It’s time to step away and look at it from a whole new angle. This is where your writing group comes to the rescue.
