How To Write a Book Workshop

Yippee ay aeeee and jumping jehosophat!

I know that Monday is normally my day to send you a useful link but I’ve been so excited by what happened at the weekend I hoped you won’t mind if I give you some follow up to the workshop.

I’m not sure what I expected to happen, since it was the first time I’d facilitated the workshop and I’m not sure what the attendees expected.

Whatever our combined expectations, they were exceeded.  We all left realising what a powerful process it had been in generating ideas, settling people’s fears and pointing them in the right direction for them.

We videoed some comments from the attendees who didn’t mind appearing on film and I’ll be putting those up on the site later in the week.

But to give you an idea – one of the attendees came in with two vague-ish ideas and during the first exercise, that’s less than half an hour into the workshop came up with an idea that had her almost jumping into the air.  She couldn’t understand why she hadn’t thought of it before!

And of course since the whole workshop was classed as confidential, as laid out in the guidelines the group put together, then she was happy and comfortable to share the idea with us knowing nobody would pinch it.

It’s given me the impetus to go on and offer what I really want to do – A TWELVE WEEK PROGRAMME with workshops, support and a group forum.  I’m going to go full steam ahead now to put this together so I can offer it starting September.  More details as it comes together.

What a revelation to all of us!

Yours in a state of extreme jubilation!
