I have been writing for about four years now. I trained in Person Centred Art Therapy Skills. I certainly think that any creative endeavour is a form of self therapy.
I am both an artist and a writer and I think that one complements the other as often I am painting and a story emerges and then when I am writing a paiting is thought of in my mind. That is how I have developed writing for children.
When I started the writing group in Tauntn Library,on behalf of the Friends of Taunton Library in order to raise funds, my writing certainly expanded in strength and became far more ecelectic.
The last session we wrote a poem on Friendship and explored a number of writing competitions via the "Writer's Forum" and" The Writing" Magazine.
I had already written a number of short stories and I decided to enter the Writer's Forum competition. I am now in suspense, I would love to win, who wouldn't? and you never know if we keep trying one of us might win a prize which will be good publicity for the library. Libraries struggle in the present economic climate and need all the support they can get
