I recently decided to give up on my part-time hypnosis and NLP practice due to feelings of not being up to it and some general feelings of not being good enough. Your blog made me realise this is my "writers block" and that I have all the tools I need to correct this Hi,

However, John's talk has inspired me to think more concretely about a writing residency I've had in mind for a while. Did anyone else think he bore a slight resemblance to Gareth Malone?

I think everyone came away with a clear sense of the support available and how to make their applications stronger. I also thought John encouraged us to think of our writing in a different way, I previously had no idea that the Arts Council offered funding for the development of work to individual writers.I'm off now to Tweet and Facebook the hell out of your write-up! Thanks! Excellent write-up Matt, and there’s always room for the hobby horse ;)
