An introduction from David Tomlinson
It helps to put an idea on its feet before you put it on the page; share it, show it off, walk with it. Live it. At The Writer’s Life we give you the tools to help nurture half a thought into a fully-realized story.
Where to start your writer’s journey?
Writing Retreat
Create in Crete
Separate courses in Fiction and Non-Fiction.
In Plato’s ‘The Laws’, Plato and his companions hiked to the cave of Zeus (Ideon Andron on Mount Ida) and were inspired to philosophise on the way. If Crete was good enough to inspire Plato, then perhaps it might work some creative magic for you.
