Sometimes to get on the 'write' track, we have to expand what we think writing is. Find below many resources about writing and writing from a diverse range of sources!

Writers On Writing

How various authors, researchers and writers discuss and engage with writing. Find our sections on Writers on Writing, Write Drunk Edit Sober and One Campus One Book.

 

Music to Write by

We at the Regional Writing Centre have seen that writers, for various reasons, are using music. We want to boost more collaboration for this writing support tool, and we would love to hear everyone’s input on how and why you’re using music.

Secondary school essay competition

University of Limerick Regional Writing Centre holds an annual National Secondary School Essay-writing Competition for Transition and 5th-year students.

The competition is aimed to encourage and recognise the writing talents of secondary school students in the region. 

It provides an opportunity for young writers to showcase their creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills.

The competition requires students to take a decisive stance on a prompt, explored in an essay of 800-1,000 words.

Are you feeling stuck and uninspired when it comes to writing? Are you doing everything possible to avoid writing that essay? Sometimes all you need is a little spark of inspiration!

We at the RWC have created a Digital Writing Inspiration wall, a collection of fun, inspirational quotes from your favourite writers or ones you use to motivate yourself to write.  

What makes this even more exciting is that anyone can contribute! Simply click the + button on the bottom right to add your own favourite writing quote. Once approved, your quote will be featured on the wall! 

Our goal is to help ease the dread and fear of writing and to instead boost motivation and enthusiasm for the creative, intellectual process.
