On a chilly winters day in Ashveille, North Carolina, the snow drifted slowly like a feather down duvet exploding. Tommy’s mood reflected the morning – crisp, calm and relaxed. But his excitement was starting to brew, as was the perculating coffee’s choclotey aromas on the hob,  as he knew that as soon as the sun rose, he’d be flying out of this dead beat town. 

5, 7, 10 writing.

Picture prompt – 5 mins to write as much as possible. 7 editing a buddy’s work, then rewriting, continuing with writing.

KAZANOVAH – Give him more choice in his reading. He can pick books from yellow, blue and green to read from. Beau/Viraj as well – books above and below that they CHOOSE. Personal choice will link into personal ownership.

Chn leading Workshops – their own choice – 1/2 day a week during reading

Sign ups – posters and advertising.
