Get Started
‘An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.’
Charles Dickens
The essence of the creative process is to weave together the threads of our experience, using imagination to transform what we already know into what might be — and, in the process, to manifest our ideas in the physical world. It’s both magical and transformational. And yet, so many of us don’t know where to start
An idea is a seed that contains a perfect blueprint. But how do you plant it and nurture it so that it grows into its fullest potential?
Whether your writing project is fiction or nonfiction, one of the hardest things to do is to transform inspiration into action and truly begin.
'A number of years ago I decided I wanted to be a writer. I thought it would be very easy. How wrong I was. But then I was lucky enough to meet Rosie Dub. Although she could well have laughed at my first efforts she didn't. Rosie has a tremendous gift of being able to impart her knowledge and suggestions in an encouraging and easy to understand way.'
Rosemary Peterswald, author of Homestead on the River
How it Works
You send me your idea, plot outline or rough synopsis and up to five pages of your project (if you have it). I’ll have a read through, make some notes and then we will spend an hour discussing your project
Together, we’ll explore ways to:
· Turn your abstract idea into concrete details
· Ground it in story
· Find a meaningful place to begin
· Give it structure and shape
· Identify its themes
· Look at character or subject
· Consider crucial scenes
‘Rosie isn’t there to impose her vision on your work. She asks the important questions and listens to your answers.’
Timothy Marsh
