Literární salon U stříbrných lišek … když senioři píší – Fischerová Daniela (2021)

Ernest Hemingway was convinced that first we must learn about what we want to write, and then master the craft of writing. Both, he claimed, would take us no less than a lifetime. That is also why some people hesitate for quite a while before they start entrusting their thoughts and ideas to paper or the memory of a computer, while time turns their hair silver in the meantime. And how does it all end up? Can shyness be overcome, fear tamed, and writing begun? Well, it can. The literary salon At the Silver Foxes knows all about it. A diverse group has gathered there, waiting for you to step in. They will offer you a small taste from their authorial workshops, and writer Daniela Fischerová will add a handful of tips and tricks that can be useful when writing. The publication is intended for seniors and their family members, as well as for therapists and social workers. Its goal is to initiate reminiscence and creatively capture memories in literary form. It offers the basics of creative writing and presents interesting texts by writing senior authors, which serve for inspiration, entertainment, and encouragement for one's own creative expression. Last but not least, the book can serve family members and caregivers as a gentle prompt for grandparents and parents to share their life stories...
