Date:

With:

Hannie Rayson

Rating:

ESTABLISHED

Summary:

Hannie will share the thrills and spills of 40 years as a playwright, screenwriter, memoirist, and newspaper columnist. She will discuss strategies for maintaining tenacity, curiosity, and joy – the three keys to a long writing career. She’ll extol the benefits of being part of a writing community and of diversifying your craft. She will discuss the uselessness of doubt as a creative tool. (Unless employed to neutralise any tendency to be an insufferable arse.) And for the record, she says that suffering as a creative impetus is overrated.
