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.
