At Wild Words we make use of the power of story telling and metaphor. We describe the path to freeing up your writing in terms of the skills an animal tracker needs to cultivate, and the trail they need to follow, to discover the wild animal. As you'll find out, writing and tracking skills are strikingly similar. On The Writer-In-The-Wild courses you'll learn specific skills for re-finding the instinctual writer, tracking down your wild words, and harnessing them on the page. All these skills have a sound scientific and psychotherapeutic theoretical basis. When we practice writing 'wild words' we are trying a new way of functioning. What comes out may fit the stereotype of 'wild'. It may roar out on to the page, big, brash and loud. However, it's equally likely that it will flutter, creep or scuttle in, whispering in our ear. Wild words are nothing if not individual. They find the form that is most appropriate for what needs to be said, for the story we need to tell.
