Putting the Y in Wryting

A chance to see this again and to discuss the issues raised

"The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know."  (Chomsky). 

It is up to artists and writers to try and find out what is going on because nobody else will.  When you wake up in the morning, see what you don’t know and try to create something that will fill that gap in understanding.  Writing about what you don’t know is more fruitful that writing about what you do because there is so much to find out about the world.  What do you want to write about to add to the world and fulfil your potential?

Putting the Y in Wryting

When’s the right time to be a writer and why shouldn’t it be now?

Music artist and futures writer Timo Peach takes creative notes from playwright and poet Peter John Cooper.

You may not have a book in mind. You may not be blogging much. The world may be on fire. But something in you is still itching to take a leap towards new creativity – and so you want to know if you’re “allowed” to be a writer. And right now. And if there’s a *right* way you’re supposed to start it.

Timo Peach talks to Peter John Cooper in an open conversation with the audience asking:

* Why do you want to Wryte?
* Why is Wryting a Good Thing?
* Why does the world need you to Wryte right now?
* Where is the gap that only you can fill?
* What are these two creatives taking and where can you get some?
