..It’s not even an urge to tell people. It’s like a saucepan overflowing, it bubbles over and you’ve got to do something with it, because it seems too big to contain in oneself, the vessel isn’t big enough...Philip Marsden, travel writer and novelist
For Philip Marsden, the urge to write is a spilling over of his responses to his travels, and this urge to write remains as fresh today as it did when he first began to travel. But inspiration comes from sources as varied as a deadline or an overheard conversation.
This online course features a lecture that tackles the big question every writer struggles with – 'So, where do you get your ideas?' – and looks at how the Muses of Greek mythology can help us even today.
There are also three practical exercises to help you pin down your own inspired thoughts, exclusive articles on the subject from practising writers, as well as useful links and a self-assessment form.
