For so long, we all assumed that creative writing was a natural ability that you either had or you didn’t. So-called writers could sit down and allow the wonderful ideas to pour out. But now we know that’s not the case! Every one of us has the potential to create riveting stories, moving poems, and powerful personal essays that connect us to the world and give voice to our inner thoughts. The benefits of practising creative writing are many, and learning how to get started is easier than you think. Sign up for a creative writing class and you’ll be inspired by Melbourne’s top writing coaches.
We’re well into the twenty-first century which means it’s time to put well-worn misconceptions about creative writing to rest. If you ever thought that you didn’t have the talent or skill to practise creative writing, you may have talked yourself out of picking up a hobby with a vast array of benefits. Creative writing has the ability to promote self-esteem and build confidence. It helps us develop our emotional intelligence and check in with our own biases and strengths. And it’s extremely rewarding and satisfying. But so many of us are so attached to the idea that creative writing is an inherent talent that we’re too afraid to give it a try.
Creative writing can cover so many styles and genres, there are plenty of creative writing courses to choose from. There are writing courses for anyone interested in learning how to write a poem or perform spoken word poetry. Or, you can learn how to write a short story or a collection of personal essays. If you’re trying to figure out how to write your first novel, you’ll love attending fiction writing classes with fellow writing students. There’s a writers workshop for whatever form, voice, or genre you’re interested in. These are some of the best things to do in Melbourne for anyone who’s ever wanted to learn to write better.
While there’s a writers workshop for every type of writer, there are also creative writing courses for every type of special event. If you’re looking for fun things to do in Melbourne to celebrate an upcoming birthday or life milestone, why not gather up your friends for a fun writers workshop? Creative writing courses are also some of the best literary indoor activities Melbourne has to offer for anyone looking to build their craft. And if you know a writer in your life who would love the chance to take some writing courses, these creative writing classes are the perfect experience gifts in Melbourne. They’ll be so happy that you are encouraging their passion by signing them up for these fun Melbourne workshops.
Whether you’re taking creative writing courses to learn how to write a short story, a collection of poems, or your first novel, all ClassBento writing courses have one thing in common: they will build your confidence as a writer. With the guidance of your passionate creative writing instructor and the encouragement of your fellow writing students, you’ll feel more comfortable and bold at the keyboard. And the extra practice and helpful techniques that you’ll learn in your writer’s workshop will make your writing so much better. Writing is a lifelong hobby, and you’ll be so grateful that you took this important first step.
Health benefits of creative writing
Creative writing can offer us so many potential benefits. In addition to improving focus, creative writing puts us in touch with our imagination and creativity. It allows us to develop our inner values and share our perspective with the world. Sitting down to write is a wonderful way to disconnect temporarily from the stress of the world and focus on what’s going on inside ourselves. Indeed, creative writing often feels meditative, and the potential for self-discovery is so exciting. You’ll want to spend all of your free time developing this relaxing and self-reflective hobby.
Custom classes
Want to learn or experience something specific? You can easily contact our teachers and arrange a custom workshop at your preferred time and to suit your skill level.
If you’re looking for a unique and memorable event these workshops are perfect things to do with friends on the weekend, for aged care groups, team building exercises, indoor things to do, and kids weekend activities. We've got a range of teachers who cater specifically to larger events, and we can customise classes to meet your needs. Get in touch today and we'll put something together for you.
