In this edition of Write Enjoy Repeat, my final Movember guest Shah talks about how he came to writing a bit later in life in university where he took Creative Writing as a degree.  

 

Writing allows him to escape and be centred and really helps with his mental health; writing about how he’s feeling, his emotions, where they come from etc. Shah likes to use prompt cards to get his creativity and imagination going.

 

Shah recommends you try writing because you have nothing to lose. There is no right or wrong answer..Shah also recommends going somewhere to find your Zen, be it a nice cafe, or sitting in nature. The prompt from this episode if you fancy trying a piece of writing is ‘a blank piece of paper’. Just write those words and keep writing, see what comes. This prompt was taken from Shah’s comment “Let your flow of consciousness appear on a blank piece of paper.”

 

Shah’s favourite books are The Great Gatsby, Scott Fitzgerald and One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey.
