Stories that Inspire - January

Welcome to Stories That Inspire. Join us at Bishopston Library for an evening discussing books you've loved, and practising journal techniques to leave you feeling motivated to write more. Are you ready to discover the inner writer within you? Or have you had ideas about writing a book? The Friends of Bishopston Library are co-hosting the next event in the series of the book club with a difference, called “Stories That Inspire”

As well as talking about inspiring books, we will cover practical tools to help you think and plan your stories, creating a safe space for you to share some of your writing, if you wish.

If you love the idea of writing more, come and join us.

One participant from the last month's circle said, "I really enjoyed the meeting and left feeling that perhaps I can put pen to paper after all!" Sharing our stories is a great way to share your expertise and life lessons, which is a gift for people following in your footsteps.

This supportive group is designed for you especially if your stories are linked to the work you do or a change you'd like to see in the world. Perhaps you will gain confidence in the power behind sharing them - even if it's not in a book. Poetry, blogs, podcasts and videos are other creative routes to reach your audience.

Debs is hosting this group to create an enthusiastic, supportive community of people who love books and want to explore how creativity helps support positive thinking and wellbeing. Do bring and share a book you love or one which changed your life.

Some of the books we talked about in October are shown in the image below.
