I was quite apprehensive and anxious as 'going out' is not really my thing, sends my anxiety and thoughts crazy, and I'm quite poorly with my mental health at the moment, so it was a huge thing for me. I really want to learn though, I've found a passion in writing and I believe words hold a lot of power.
We learnt about Alliteration and looked at 'The Elements Of Eloquence' by Martin Forsyth, we then proceeded to write our own pieces focusing around Nelson Mandela's funeral using alliteration to grasp the reader's attention, drawing in interest, making sentences memorable.
The other group members shared some of their work from home and we gave constructive criticism.
Feeling very motivated to write at the moment, especially whilst I am so unwell, perhaps I can help an 'outsider' to really understand how isolating and terrifying mental illness can be.
