And thanks for sharing this – do put it into circulation with people who might be interested. And too there are plenty of ways to mix up and adapt what’s there.

And yes – I think the Den could be a great place to set up a critique space. What I’d like is to be able to recommend more places where writers can connect with like-minded…[Read more]

In reply to - Raine posted an update Anyone seen this? I wonder whether it would be possible to ‘run’ this informally here somehow… https://wille.org/blog/2019/09/17/syllabus-for-a-diy-ma-in-creative-writing-2019/ ]]> 99642d149cd39390adaee60fb4de0de5 Andrew Wille and Amanda Berriman (Skylark) are now friends https://www.denofwriters.com/activity/p/4242/ Sat, 06 Oct 2018 18:42:18 +0000 0 61575b7841910fdd9792b55cd3609aec Andrew Wille replied to the topic I've gone and done it again! in the forum Podium https://www.denofwriters.com/forums/topic/ive-gone-and-done-it-again/page/2/#post-1998 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 20:33:25 +0000 Well done, Janette – that’s wonderful news!

I’m thinking of JK Rowling’s Casual Vacancy, set in a quaint and fairly well-off Cotswold town that in fact has a lot of socioeconomic problems hiding beneath the surface – poverty, drug abuse. That tension within the setting informs much of the conflict in the…[Read more]

Good to be in touch with you here, and shall also look forward to seeing you and Thea in November. Busily putting final touches to tomorrow’s class on Plotting – about to print the handouts (which always takes longer than planned …).

Cheers!
Andrew

In reply to - GippsGirl posted an update @andrew Good to see you here, Andrew! Your wise words will be welcome (alliteration noted), and I’m looking forward to seeing you at Words Away’s workshop on Voice in November.

It’s often about a mismatch. And there can often be luck involved, too, though also we can all create some of our own luck.

Failure is such a loaded word. So much depends on expectations, which easily snowball out of control. How many jobs have we applied for and straightaway daydreamed ourselves into that new role, all the way down to the new commute/desk/coffee mug and what we’d do with an increase in salary every month?!

I often encounter the idea…[Read more]
