You’ve always wanted to write, but you don’t know how to get started.

You used to write, but you haven’t done it in a while and you feel rusty.

You’re sort of interested in writing, but you’re afraid to even admit it.

You’ve started many stories, but you ran out of steam.

You think you can write, but you need a second opinion.

You have a writing project that you’ve kept putting off, and you just looked at the calendar and it’s almost 2017.

(Or you have a friend who is any/all of the above and you want to give them a little push.)

Join our Writing Boot Camp! The objective is simple: to start and finish a piece of writing (story or essay) in two weekends.

Dates: February 4 and 11, 2017, from 1-5pm.
Venue: WSI Corporate Center, Metropolitan Avenue, Makati (near the Makati fire station at the end of Ayala Avenue)
Cost: Php5,000.

For inquiries and to book a place, email saffron.safin@gmail.com.

The objective of Writing Boot Camp is to start and finish a short story between the two Saturday sessions.

Writing Boot Camp consists of a lecture, readings, discussions, and the screening of a classic short film. Light snacks will be served.

Here’s the map to the venue.

To register, email saffron.safin@gmail.com before Saturday. The fee is Php5,000 for the entire workshop.

Stop threatening to write, and just write something.

I’m reading from my new novel.

Thursday, 28 July 2016, 9:53pm. Then passed out for most of the following day.

Freedom!

Now to find a publisher. And start the next one.

I field-tested the method I teach in workshops and it works after all. Anyway, I enjoy being able to focus instead of constantly scrambling for something to say, so I am extending my vacation from column-writing. After writing three columns a week for 23 years, I’m tired and I want to do something else.

Back to watching Stranger Things. Good thing it’s only eight episodes.
