By Anne Maybus – Hire My Mum Web/Writing Specialist
When I finished writing my last blog post here I began to think about all the people who might feel the way I felt about writing. I would guess that there are a lot of us who want to test our skills but are hesitant about it.
It took me a long time to pluck up the courage to put my work out there to be seen. I don't want you to have to wait that long. I don't want you to have to do it by yourself, either. That is why I have put together an online course for beginner writers.
This course isn't about grammar or punctuation. It isn't like learning English at school. It is more of a hand-holding while you find out what it is that you want to write about, and while you find your voice. Some of us will want to write for our businesses, others for fun. Some might want to write poetry and others write a statistical analysis of subatomic pressure on amoeba. Who knows?
I wrote an article for Calm Space about my journey towards writing and it starts with what has become one of my favourite proverbs. " A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song." What that says to me is that if we want to write we should do it. You don't have to bring about world peace with it. You just need to express yourself. You can be sure that it will strike a chord with some of your readers.
If you want to try your hand at writing then come along with us on this course. We promise to give you constructive feedback and plenty of support and encouragement. I would love to be standing in a bookshop one day, looking at a recently published book and saying to myself."I helped her get there."
