The truth? The Best Time Is Now. You don’t have to write it all at once. Start with one memory, one page. Tell your story before someone else tries to piece it together from fragments. Because no one can tell it the way you can. If you'd like a hand to get started on your writing project in a supportive fun environment, join us on 13th February for the upcoming series of 5-weekly 2.5-hour Write Your Story community workshops. Places are limited. Reservations are essential. Call or email me to reserve your place.
