Words Manifesting Themselves

Participating in Writing Workshops

 

Thanks to the inspiring atmosphere and careful guidance of the trainers, writing workshops give me, as a participant, the opportunity to deal with my very own themes and the topics that emerge spontaneously in a creative and playful literary way.
