I hosted @writersvictoria.bsky.social Friday Write Club today. My prompt for 20+ quiet writers:
Interiority: write to 3rd person the inner thoughts as they go about a mundane existence. Meandering whims? Crazed fantasy? Task orientated lists? Go wild, let your imagination guide & enjoy discovery.

In this workshop with author, poet and educator @nadianiaz.bsky.social, you are invited to consider your relationship with place and how this emerges in and shapes your writing https://writersvictoria.org.au/calendars/events/event/?id=1298
