| 13 May at Mom Tri's Boathouse |
Join Collin Piprell (www.collinpiprell.com) at The Boathouse for Writer's Night. Collin is a Canadian novelist, feature writer, journalist and editor who resides in Bangkok.
Collin's topic is on “Seducing the Muse”: ”Half the people I know say that, someday, they want to write something. Most people never do. This talk aims to encourage those who’d like to write.”
Collin will focus on:
a) Where ideas come from
b) Psychological hurdles for new (and veteran) writers
c) A strange phenomenon he calls the “Muse Effect”
