How to Excel in Creative Writing
Writing: Coaching, mentoring & writing course

Do you want to write creatively and develop your creative abilities?
The starting point for me who write this is that I am sure that everyone — absolutely everyone — can benefit greatly from developing their writing skills.
The last four years I have discovered how I can develop myself as a writer, and easily publish my texts so that they get readers. I have chosen to write the most in English, but have also published in Norwegian. When I publish in English, I know that readers from all over the world are potential readers. However, the site where I have published, Medium, also lets me publish in my native language, Norwegian. I have experienced that this is an excellent opportunity to develop myself as a writer.

I have been teaching writing in upper secondary education for four decades, and I have been an author of fiction for many years.
Now, as we write 2021, it will actually be 43 years since I released my debut novel, Stupet (“The Precipice”) at Det Norske Samlaget, a Norwegian Publishing House.
Writing is easy for some, difficult for others. But everyone can write and everyone can benefit from trying to write.
It’s a good idea to start small and try out simple texts privately at first.
What’s up?
This spring, I start a writing project that is a writing course for people who like to read and are interested in writing.
Are you interested? Then you can email me, [email protected] for more information.
As part of the course, I will coach you on your writing. There will be a private group on Facebook, where everyone who participates is a member.
Okay?
Then let’s go!
Target groups
I think that this writing course might be of interest to anyone who is interested and who likes to read, for example:
- young adults who look forward to what life can offer and who may want to try to write in English with people from the whole world as potential readers
- people in the middle of their busy life, who can read and write English and who want to practice English skills or who want to write in Norwegian and develop as a writer
- adults and elderly who have experienced many things which may be worth to be taken care of in the form of stories, sketches, memories, articles, poems
- any aspiring novel authors or poets
Common to everyone in the target groups is that everyone has ideas, thoughts and experiences worth developing and taking care of. As the world is today with the internet, it is so easy for us to write and get readers. Thus, valuable information and exciting texts can easily be made available to both our contemporaries and those who live after us.
Medium is a fantastic web site.
At https://medium.com I can publish what I write and perform all the publishing work myself. I create an account, I write my text, I find a photo either in my private image archive, or at https://unsplash.com, where I can choose between millions of free pictures.
I put together text and image, I easily format in Medium and press Publish. Then it’s done!
Since 2017 I have published over 750 stories. Below links to some of my texts on Medium, with images from Unsplash that we are allowed to use for free.
Thank you for reading!
