Summary

In "Gateless Writing", we tap into our creative potential in a protected space: We write with all our senses, inspired by writing impulses and without fear of criticism.

From Friday to Sunday, we enjoy the flow of writing in an urban setting in the heart of Vienna. In several guided writing sessions, you will awaken the stories that lie dormant within you with "Gateless Writing". I'll get you in the mood with a creative writing impulse before you dive into a short creative phase.

Afterwards, you can voluntarily read your text aloud to the group and rely on encouraging feedback. You will have free writing time between the sessions on Saturday.

The writing weekend with "Gateless Writing" is right for you if you ...

- want to focus on your writing project
- want to (re)discover writing for yourself
- are looking for creative impulses, inspiration and fresh writing ideas
- want to eliminate inner critics and self-doubt
- are longing to slow down and take time out just for yourself and your writing
- appreciate the appreciative exchange in a community of writers
- want to enjoy strength-based, motivating feedback on your texts

If you are looking for inspiration for your current project, you are welcome to bring it along. Of course, you can also participate without a writing idea.

You don't need any previous knowledge for "Gateless Writing". It doesn't matter whether you've been writing for a while or are just starting out: At the writing weekend, we meet at eye level.

For the joint writing sessions, you will need a notebook and a pen that you write well with. If you would like to use your laptop in between, you are welcome to bring it along.
