Ian and I met at a writing group. We have both been helped tremendously by our love of writing. Getting our emotions onto paper, taking time to put them into words, even being brave enough to share some of our work - it has made a huge difference to how we feel about ourselves, and how we handle those emotions which we previously kept locked up inside of us.
We started talking about how it would be great if other people were able to get that sense of relief that writing has brought to us. Then we talked some more. With much initial self-doubt, but then with growing confidence, we decided to set things in motion.
And here we are - all ready for our first writing session. Already, three people have said they are coming - and we've only just started telling people about it. This is so exciting.
Hope to see you there.
