Life's Little Narratives - Stories hiding in plain sight
The stories that matter aren't always the dramatic ones. They're in the moments we nearly missed, the lives we might have lived, the things we never said and the memories that keep nudging us. Life's Little Narratives is a place to notice them, write them and see where they lead.
Ways to explore Life's Little Narratives
Workshops
Playful, thoughtful writing experiences that start with an unexpected question, image, object or idea - and take you somewhere you didn't expect to go.
Retreats
Time away from the noise to write, think and reconnect with your creative self - with enough structure to get you moving and enough space to follow your own curiosity.
Write to the Finish: Winter Sprint
A 30, 60 or 90-day writing sprint for writers who want deadlines, protected writing time and momentum. Everyone starts together on 15 September.
Book Coaching
One-to-one support for the book that keeps calling you back - from finding the shape of the idea to staying with it long enough to finish.
“So much inspiration, connection and thinking outside the box. Nicky is a wonderful teacher and brings out creativity from its core.”
“Those three hours on Saturday morning were so incredibly inspiring and helpful to my book project I can't thank you enough. Your approach, the pacing of exercises... you gave us enough time to go deeper, that was fascinating and helpful.”
My Writing
My own writing centres on themes of motherhood, place, luck and transience. I write creative non fiction, fiction and love different shapes stories can take. I'm working on a new form of my memoir!
