Sorry guys – depression took a massive swipe over the last week and held me up. Just about to get the thread set up for Class 3.

Thinking about it, this psychology stuff is probably ‘inner worlds’ rather than the ‘outer worlds’ this unit was supposed to be focusing on. But imo the inner has to come first, right? So anyway, below are some rough notes from Stephanie Hutton’s Psychology of Character workshop (which, if you get the chance to go, is well worth doing). I’m no…[Read more]

Sorry for not contributing this session. I did the reading, and enjoyed it, and think I’ll use some of the exercises to expand on what I already do when I’m planning. I didn’t get around to doing anything for this bit as I’m at totally the wrong point in any of my wips for it to work, and needed to get something finished, etc, etc!

Sounds good @woolleybeans. Thank-you. 🙂

Hi all.

Technically, we’re at the end of the 3 weeks for Class 2.

I, for one, am kind of all over the place. I’ve read all the core reading, shared my gleanings from Class 1 at my IRL writing group, done some exercises with them, but not done the exercises for Class 2 at all or really got going on the other elements. I was also meaning to join…[Read more]

Try something new!

My intention was to write everyday and to start using the journal, but I am not there yet! I am still working up to actively arriving at my desktop each day…

I like the sound of your plan, Janeshuff. They look like good, realistic targets.

I’ll put class 2 up on Monday, then.

I am also being a bit lax in the commenting and writing exercises part, but will aim to be more active on it shortly.

Yeah, timings are good for me too. As @kazg says – enough time that I can fit it in without feeling like it’s taking away from other stuff.

I shall get my reflections together in the next couple of days. My IRL writing group is reading at a local festival thing tomorrow night, and I seem to have lost my multitasking skills…

With regards to the next seminar, can we share thoughts on how it’s gone so far over the next few days.

If everyone is good with it, we can start the next…[Read more]
