Improper feelings

This afternoon I attended a Creative Writing workshop hosted by my friend, Eva, who's a writer, translator, teacher and all round genius. If I'm honest, I signed up mostly to offer support for her in this new venture and as people started to arrive, I felt that it definitely wasn't my place. However, as Eva walked us through the activities, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The prompts for each piece of writing were brilliant and I was surprised at how easy the writing came. It's incredibly scary to have the confidence to read your words aloud, and I held back a couple of times because of nerves. But I was amazed at how the vulnerability of sharing your writing can quickly glue a group together. I already want to meet the whole group again and hear more of their words.

Unfortunately, Eva and her husband are off to Hungary soon for a couple of months which is disappointing both on the creative writing front but mostly because we are supposed to be training for an Ultra-Marathon together. Looks like I'm on my own.
