THE WRITING EXPERIENCE

I joined this writing workshop which helps a person improve his style of writing.
But when I tell people about it they all give me the same reaction ”Why do you need a writing school. Don't you already know how to write?”
I don’t have a proper answer for it. If I told them that I joined it because I liked writing and I wanted to improve on it or that I wanted to learn something new as I was bored of my monotonous life in office, I could actually see them rollin their eyes . But the bottom line is that it really helped me a lot. Our instructor in the writing school was a real fascinating man named Prashant Rajkhowa. He was such a talented guy (a reporter, journalist, director, producer, scuba diver and bartender) . It was a pleasure just to listen to him. I learnt so many new and interesting things from him.

People think that it is weird to join a class that teaches you ‘how to write’, sumthing that we already know. But it is a myth. After attending the workshop I realized how less I knew and there is so much more to learn.
The writing class was an experience to cherish. I became a lot richer(with knowledge) after this course.
