February 10: HTM Prof Aims to Make Writing Easier, More Enjoyable
If you didn't enjoy doing something, felt apprehensive about even getting started and produced mediocre results, wouldn't you think it might be time to try a different approach? Professor Joan Flaherty, School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, says most people find writing intimidating and less-than-enjoyable. That’s why she thinks it’s time for something new: a counter-intuitive approach that turns what you’ve been taught about writing upside down. She’ll be teaching a half-day session on this at the Writer’s Workshop, which will be held Feb. 24 and 25 at the University of Guelph Library. Flaherty’s workshop, The Counter-Intuitive Writer: How to Improve Your Writing by Doing the Opposite of What You’ve Probably Been Taught, runs from 9 a.m. to noon Feb. 24.
