HAPPY WRITING

Evi Labropoulou is a fiction writer and occasional teacher of English as a foreign language who has been saved by literature and believes in the life saving qualities of writing and in bringing the healing powers of it to people in need of miracles. When exhausted by simply teaching the same old Present Tense to students who rarely stuck around long enough to learn the past perfect, she started an after-class writing workshop that became incredibly busy and happy. People would pass by and just be dragged in the room by the sizzling energy of it. Some did not speak a word of english. In the safe warm surroundings of Bertol Brecht and Nicole Blackman they found joy for an hour or two. They were happily typing away their philosophical thoughs, needs, desires, dreams, even when dinner was being served in the other room.
