A Book Launch I Attended
Over the past, four
years Gateways writing class has been trying to improve their writing skill.
As the previous tutor
who passed away, with a new tutor Maria Jones the role was hard to fill.
Coming to the
creative writing class is comfortable, because you can take things in your own
stride.
You might be blocked
because of poor mental health, by taking out a pen you could conquer pride.
Maria gives great
encouragement of peoples prose and poetry with no pressure gives you a lift.
Usually when we start
writing in class or at home we come to realisation there lies a special gift.
A lot of preparation
went in to developing and organising our Gateway creative writing book.
It was mainly some participants of the class
that done editing a lot of time and effort it took.
On the 10th
of March 2017 held in Rathmines library Gateways book launch I attended feeling
proud.
There was a great
introduction, speeches and emotions with an attendance of a very large crowd.
Each participant of
the class, there read their prose and poetry from the book confidently and
clear.
With thank you to the
coordinator and lots refreshments and chat created a great atmosphere.
Well done to
everybody involved in getting this creative writing class book launch on its
way.
A book launch I
attended happened because of the positive mental health organisation, Gateway.
