A Creative Writing Workshop took place on Monday 5th February in L6.

It was led by author Ayaan Mohamud who wrote the book “You Think You Know Me”.

The workshop consisted of three activities which helped us to write our own short stories and poems. After we had finished writing these, we got the chance to share what we had written with the group if we wanted to.

The author then addressed any questions that we had about the book she wrote and explained the publishing process and where she got inspiration to write the bestselling novel. Her second novel ‘The Thread That Connects Us’ comes out in July this year.

Overall, I really enjoyed the workshop and found it good to listen to how other people wrote a story around a specific prompt in various different ways. 

Thank you to Mrs Watkins for arranging the event.
