The structure (for instance) of a WriteStart two-day workshop:

WriteStart Day One

1. -Chopping the Block -

overcoming all the negative attitudes and feelings towards the act of writing. Overcoming what Mike calls, 'SCRIPTOPHOBIA' - fear of writing.

2. Creating the Creative State -

overcoming the fear, panic and loathing that many people have about writing (especially, 'filling that blank sheet of paper'). Building confidence and creating positive states so that the individual starts to enjoy writing rather than seeing it as a worrisome chore. Using a range of NLP techniques to access one's natural creative state and keep it there.

3. Modelling -

part one: how to model and emulate the work of professional writers. People will get ample opportunity to start writing creatively. Mike will provide one-to-one and small group coaching and mentoring. There will be practice in a range of skills including: * Getting started * Getting into the 'reader's head' * Achieving the most appropriate 'voice'
