'Tying up loose ends' Of this workshop, Joy says…. “The ending of a poem or a piece of writing is as important as the beginning. Yet often we read something only to be disappointed that the author has rushed the ending by tying up the loose ends too quickly. In this workshop we will discuss possible pitfalls over too hasty endings.

Also, we will look at how our characters might be seeking to tie up loose ends in their own life situations leading to the possibility of a tragic/comic/emotional ending.”

(Includes: Creative Writing Workshop with a former Cheshire Poet Laureate, Parkland Vehicle Entry and Garden Entry)
