what people have said about recent workshops
I have been consistently inspired and motivated by the creativity of the writers in the group. Having flitted between other writers groups, this is easily the best one I’ve been to – SHUAB
I really enjoy this group and the different characters and writing, and I think you are great at running it and are very simpatico! – FRANCES
Thank you for all the emails and for running the classes. They were fantastic and I loved all of the activities and meeting interesting people with wonderful ideas. – BRYONY
Have to say – both of these [short stories] have come as almost direct produce from my Tuesday Write Club sessions. It’s started to give me enough of a buzz to want to get home and just write my socks off, which was something I’d lost since April. Ta! – TIM
You’re doing a smashing job, love the book choice at Eastside, keep it up. You’re a natural faciliatator in the groups as patience is most definitely a virtue … – DAVID
I value your insights, expertise and kindness enormously. – AMANDA
Thank you, and all those present, for the helpful comments, criticisms and encouraging responses last night. You obviously have a gift for leading writing groups which I admire. – MARYBEL
It’s a brilliant group Nikk, and rapidly becoming one of my favourite nights out – SARAH
Thanks, I really loved the classes & hope to join in again next term/time – JO L
Nikk’s words are amazing: powerful and primitve – they’re very raw and have an understated power – sort of taking seed in me – JACK
Just wanted to say thank you for all of the competitions – it’s very useful to have an up to date compilation of them – MEL
Thanks again for a great writing course. :) I cannot believe how quickly the weeks have passed. – SHAUNA
This has been really important for me – DAN
last nights story/poety evening was great – really enjoyed it. Actually so much so that I found myself sitting at my desk today writing something that was sort of inspired by it. Thanks for getting this writing group together in such a constructive, supportive yet relaxed way – JANICE
I loved the workshop – MERIBETH
The first workshop was great. I really enjoyed it, thanks a lot for organising it so well, I already feel like I got a lot out of it. - JILL
The class was great, exciting about more & already have some great new words! – JO D
Just a quick email to say how much I enjoyed last week’s session – BRYONY
As always I loved the class… Thank you Nikk for sharing your creativity. – DESREEN
I am absolutely loving the course and learning so much each week as well as having a set time each week to indulge myself in writing and talking about writing with others. It took quite a lot for me to actually start coming although it is something I have wanted to do for a long time and I am really benefiting from both learning structure and technique as well as meeting and learning from like-minded people. Plus – who wouldn’t want to spend an evening huddled around surrounded by books and talking about writing!! I am already worried about what I will do when the course ends, although I suppose the point is that I should be using my time to write then. – SOPHIE
I’ve been really enjoying the course. I find the on-the-spot exercises done during the session really helpful – immediately applying the ideas we discuss certainly makes them sink in more. It has been really helpful so far; when I sat down to write my first piece I found it a huge struggle; I wrote the same sentence over and over and had a sort of screaming noise in my head! Now – much easier! – MEL B
Nice job – you’re a born leader. – MARK
I just wanted to say thank you for your input. The inspiration from the group has been great – CHAZ
These Tuesdays are really special and I think you have created a little bit of magic there – many thanks – GERRY
I’m coming to the class tomorrow, inspiration is required & I know the class has that in abundance. – MARK
I’ve very much enjoyed the sessions – FRAN
Yesterday was brilliant – thanks. I did not know what to expect, but I came away with some useful advice. I am looking forward to learning more! – ANDREW
I would like to wish you a very successful future. Your students and members – I can already tell – will be in very good hands. – JILLY
That was a very good constructive session last night. I, for one really appreciate your help and guidance – and I really enjoy the openness and informality of the sessions – LINDA
I really enjoyed tonight’s session - HARRIET
Well I guess the class ends in a week or so and I must tell you that I have learnt a lot and and have hopefully embraced enough for it to filter through to my writing… I love writing and I love that I attended your class…Thanks again for sharing your creativity. I wish you happiness and more colour to your canvass… – DES
