Although the co-facilitators for the 2019 edition of the Purple Hibiscus Trust Creative Writing have not yet been announced, applications are now being received. The entry process is pretty easy and the fact that it does not require any registration or entry fee makes it all the more attractive.
This year’s edition of the workshop will kick off on December 9- December 14, 2019 in Anambra. And if you ask me, I feel it is a great way to end the year, much like chocolate toppings for your cupcake. Did I hear you say, ‘yummy’? Oh well…
The workshop which in its previous editions lasted for 10 days will last for 5 days, yet it promises a lot, considering that the venue has been changed from Lagos to the heart of the Eastern region which has a rich culture. This would be an opportunity to visit the places where CNA and the great Achebe harvested their stories and I think you should not underrate it.

Female Writers: Tips to Make Writing Easier During Period Cramps
Written By Ogwiji Ehi
Writing makes us more prone to leading sedentary lives. You often have to sit in front of your computer or tablet and punch away for hours. Your neck, back and arms hurt but the satisfaction which comes with completing a piece is one of our most potent analgesics. We cannot write on the go. We need to sit in one spot and pour all our creative powers into one theme to create magic. I sometimes wish, writing was like dancing where you get physically fit as you practice, where your mind is not working that much and your every perspiration carries a drop of gloom away until some ecstatic power takes over your body!
Here’s How to Deal With Period Cramps
