Writing out your system
As National Writing Day approaches, take some new approaches to writing about writing in these exercises from Jenny Alexander
FREE RANGE writing
National Writing Day is coming up in June, and what better way to celebrate than with a burst of free-range writing? The fact that no-one else is going to read it releases you from any pressure to write well, so it’s a great opportunity to try new things, take chances and go right outside your comfort zone.
Of course, as an added bonus, there’s always a chance your personal writing might turn up something you’d like to develop further, so it can become a seedbed for projects you will go on to publish or share with your writing group.
