Creative writing is always considered as a writing which expresses a writer’s thoughts in a creative and unique way. It is always important for a writer to express his/her feelings easily which can be conveyed to its readers. To develop your protagonist plays an important role in writing any kind of stories.

The Immersive Project along with Kaffeinated Konversations, Indore Diaries, and SumitOfficial is excited to collaborate with Half Baked Beans to bring to Indore, India HBB Creative Writing Workshop today on April 3, Monday.

Today’s event was facilitated by Richa Saxena who promised to equip all kinds of writers (novice or professional) to gain a creative perspective to their writing skills. Bloggers, Writers, content professionals, writing of any genre, all the readers/writers/participants got a lot of benefits from this workshop.

I am elated to mention that Richa’s speech was spectacular in all the ways. As she is already a published author of the book The Soul Charmer from the same publication she works with. It is great to know the perspective of people from the publication industry because it is the last step of any write-ups. A lot of write-ups are rejected even without being read, so she explained the loopholes to overcome while writing your story/poetry.

I am going to share all the techniques Richa and HBB has shared with us in the session-
