@janeshuff – I’ll try to find you. And yes, it all looks very different on NaNo from my first ever visit in June.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoTa all! The substance in question was, I believe, CBD oil; two gents were having a very animated discussion about setting up in business to supply it.
@Raine – I am a death-dreamer, too! I’ve been shot, drowned, stabbed – really weird to feel my life ebbing away in the dream.
I think the forced thing is definitely due to the fact that I try to…[Read more]

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoThis thread is for sharing our thoughts on the way the course is running. Are the seminars taking too long, not long enough, just right? Anything you think should be added or adjusted?
Go ahead and share!

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoI 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]

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoThis is a bit of a cursory ‘reflections’ because I forgot to make notes of my thoughts as I read the chapters and did the exercises. Plus I’m away without the books so I can have a quick look to jog my memory.
The main thing I got out of Chapter One of the Burrows book was how useful a tool freewriting/freedrafting can be for all sorts of…[Read more]

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoRead your dialogue soon after a trip to Mull. Wish I had the memory to write down what I hear i passing. And your ‘I remember blue tiles and the smell of drains and old food.’ sums it up; as you say above, you only need a couple of telling details.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoAnd this a long ago piece deliberately adopting a Neolithic voice:
Always an edge to beware, to be aware of.
First at Liddle had been slabs, as thick as three of her three-year fingers, flat patterned stone, hard and often sharp when new, both separating bed from bed and on which they lay, degree of comfort dependent on the depth and newness of…[Read more]

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoThank you both! I succumbed to overwriting, which I’m prone too, and it was FUN. If a bit much to read 🙂

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoOoh me too @seagreen! What are your thoughts on that? Rescue Remedy would be a let down (though probably best for the woman!)

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoSending hugs and support Jane, and I respect the no feedback request. I understand how you’re feeling – but can I just remind you how very much I’ve enjoyed the pieces I’ve read by you in the past?

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoI decided not to buy the books and would prefer to dip in and out on this, so herewith my contribution.
I remember a Christmas, the dining table, taller than me, piled as high again with presents (and bigger ones beneath) and the focus of five adults, all on me.
I remember my Dad laughing on a Sunday morning when stopped by a policeman for…[Read more] -

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoAbsolutely fabulous! And intense. An assault on the senses. My kind of gorgeous, too 🙂
And your ‘I Remember…’ made me remember the obstacle course of childhood.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 9 months agoHmm. Gorgeous is as gorgeous does, but I did enjoy wallowing in my words, which was the point I guess. Haven’t captured much dialogue yet, for the past week I seem to be on a very noisy trams, or too far away from people talking or alternatively next to non-English speakers or silent people reading or on phones. Will keep trying!
