Writing Well - Paula Thwaite is the founder of Writing Well Community Focused Creative Writing Wellbeing Groups in Lincolnshire
What is Writing Well?
Writing Well provide facilitated community writing groups. We offer support and encouragement to those who gain a sense of acknowledgement from taking part in writing exercises and sharing their own work for mutual feedback, if they choose.
Our focus is well-being, through creating the opportunity to be yourself. The technical word for this is congruence.
Writing Well provide attendees with a boundaried, safe and confidential environment. Enough for a person to feel able to process their thoughts and feelings through writing, if they choose. To share, and grow in confidence. We aim to help you discover and hone your own writing voice.
(Whilst Writing Well are not therapy groups, the process of writing and sharing can be cathartic - for instance, a person may write about being bullied at school or share a poem describing feelings around the loss of a loved one. And, if this person decides to read this piece of work aloud in the group, facilitated constructive feedback from self and others can be helpful and encouraging. In this sense, Writing Well is therapeutic.)
