WRITING CAMP IN THE SWARZWALD
With infectious good humor Janet led our pleasantly small group through her Freiburg. She never lost her butterfly-red-colored thread of our camp topics.
Since our three "writing luck days" turned out to be "weather luck days" as well, most of the workshops took place in beautiful parks or the lively old town. With our feet in the brook, or in the café with a view of the cathedral, we completed the creative writing tasks. The mutual reading aloud, on the other hand, took place at a duck pond. Even its swimming inhabitants cackled in applause afterwards.
Very helpful for me was the one-on-one conversation with Janet about my current writing project. Her prepared proofreading of a scene immediately brought us both into an exchange. Her tips and advice convinced me and I was able to take them in stride. I hadn't expected a writing voice analysis at all, and, wow, that was another special highlight!
I experienced the days as intensive, concentrated and instructive in an overall relaxed, positive atmosphere. The interaction with each other was - bookerfly - very respectful and cordial. Janet's experienced, professional coaching has encouraged me and I am going about my further novel revision with great desire - as if the flapping breath of a butterfly were blowing over me.
Thank you so much, Janet.
Great recommendation. Full marks. Asking for a sequel.
