The second Freewriting Adventure: The Luneta Tour

2. Freewriting Adventures at Luneta on Aug. 3, 2013


The second Freewriting Adventure was actually our first outdoor adventure. The first was just a meet up inside a coffee shop, but for this one we encouraged writers to explore Rizal Park (Luneta Park). The meeting place was in front of the Rizal monument, and the adventure lasted from 10a.m. to 5p.m. Although it rained, our four participants were still willing to push through with the activities whenever the showers halted.

The first Freewriting Adventure

1. Starbucks Freewriting Adventure on July 6, 2013 at Katipunan

The first Freewriting Adventure was held at Starbucks Katipunan on July 6, 2013 from 10a.m. to 4p.m. Back then, I referred to it as a writer's meet up and hadn't called it Freewriting Adventures. I posted the announcement on my blog and created a Facebook event.

I didn't have a plan on what we'd do, but I brought Writing Down The Bones and Wild Mind by Natalie Goldberg and The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, which were books with many writing exercises. Hansky, one of the participants, brought his book The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp. We randomly chose the writing exercises from those books. Some of the exercises I invented on the spot.

Freewriting Adventures: Color Me Quiapo

Freewriting Adventures (FWA) has taken young writers on a hop-on-hop-off LRT expedition, on a hunt around Luneta park, on a tour around Manila’s top art galleries, and now we are coming back on Saturday Sept. 27 with Color Me Quiapo.

If you want to escape the confines of classroom-based learning, hit the crazy streets of Manila, and feel inspired by the vividness of real life, then you should join our next adventure in Quiapo.

UPDATE: All slots are now filled. Text if you want to be placed on the waiting list or be informed of future events of Freewriting Adventures.

Freewriting Adventures is back with another fun day filled with awesome writing challenges! On May 31 Saturday from 12nn to 5p.m., you will learn tips and tricks on how to describe things while you tour around art galleries in Manila (Silverlens Gallery, Galleria Duemila, and Avellana Art Gallery). 

Don't be intimidated by art! All you have to do is "get dumb", and you'll be able to describe anything. What? Really? Get dumb? How does that work? Attend the adventure and find out!

Potent Cures to Writer's Block

Stew and simmer potions against writer's block with Freewriting Adventures. It's not a workshop; it's an adventure! 

In order to write creatively, we believe that the learning process must be imaginative as well. So forget the four corners of that boring lecture room and get ready to run wild through Manila parks and kooky streets.
