When did you last experience joy? Were you with others? Alone? Did you feel it in your stomach? Your chest? Did you laugh out loud? And have you ever thought about capturing that moment through creative writing?

In episode one of Right Here Write now, you’ll hear how a trip to Australia and a chicken called Missy created a surprising moment of joy for host Nicola McDonald.
Listen as she recounts her experience, then work through the prompts to explore joy through your own creative writing.
