Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 10 months agoI think they are pretty much perfect in length. Enough time for me at this busy point in my life to get to them and do the reading and give it enough thought, but not too much to lose momentum. Very happy with it, thank you! x

@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, 10 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, 10 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, 10 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, 10 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, 10 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, 10 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, 10 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, 10 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!

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 10 months agoMy dreams have been a lot worse over the last few nights. Think if I wrote THEM down, I’d be strapped to a psychiatrist’s chair… 😉 Thanks, Kaz and Hil x

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 10 months agoGood dialogue harvesting @squidge, and I especially liked the peas 🙂
I thought your ‘gorgeous’ para was really arresting and clear, it didn’t feel forced or unnatural at all and it was really vivid. What a dream! Beautifully captured.

Fascinating tale, Philippa, well done for sticking it out to a triumphant end. Looking forward to reading the book.

John S Alty replied to the topic Story idea in the forum Coffee Shop 6 years, 10 months ago
I couldn’t do this idea justice. The right person could really build the tension and explore the changing relationships of the three characters as the story builds. Interesting project for someone, but not me.

Philippa East replied to the topic Story idea in the forum Coffee Shop 6 years, 10 months ago
Ooo, it’s a bit like an updated spin on Dead Calm!
BTW – don’t assume you won’t write this idea. I almost gave an idea once… but then realised actually I wanted to write it myself!

Hi Athelstone! And thanks.
Yes, I’m currently planning a launch party for February (whoop!). It will likely be in Lincoln, and you will all be welcome! Details to follow once I’ve sorted them out… -
