HERE YOU BECOME A LANGUAGE INNOVATOR rather than a language technician

You are given the opportunity to experience writing as effortless and euphoric. While granting you permission to write with great freedom, this course guides you toward excellence. In the end, you will grow excited and proud of your writing voice.

YOU UNEARTH THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF YOUR MOTHER-TONGUE

By focussing on the senses, image, sound, metaphor, line and breath, you re-connect with your passion for the written word. As a result, you energize your writing, surprising yourself with the power and authenticity of the spontaneous product. In the end, your writing is deeper and more alive. You have become an intuitive geiger counter for language gold.

YOU INCREASE YOUR WRITING DEXTERITY

By exercising all kinds of writing muscles and engaging in weekly aerobic workouts for the imagination, you acquire the essential building blocks for the entire writing process. You gain a fresh and heightened approach to language. In the end, you discover you are equipped with writing tools that you will come back to over and over again. You feel thrilled to be a writer.
