Thanks, Wooleybeans, this is all looking great. Just waiting on the books before digging in.
Woolleybeans started the topic Writing Practice: Year 1 in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

Welcome to Writing Practice for Year 1 of the DIY MA.

This is where we will share targets, discuss routines and generally chew over the process of establishing and maintaining a writing routine.

We have a task for the start of this segment:

Create a weekly/ fortnightly writing schedule using exercises and prompts.

You may also incorporate…[Read more]
Woolleybeans started the topic Craft Seminar Class 1: Getting Started: Memory, Obs in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

Welcome to Class 1 of the DIY MA. Find a seat (not all at the back) and let’s get started.

We have allocated 3 weeks for this class (yes, you can have a toilet break when you need one, and plenty of tea or other beverage of choice is encouraged), and we are starting with the class reading.

In your copy of Janet Burroway’s Writing Fiction (te…[Read more]

I agree with all proposals.

Can’t wait!
Woolleybeans replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

Classroom construction will begin as soon as I have more tea.

Agreed on the group becoming private now and on posting to announce new units.
JaneShuff replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

Agree that posting on the main wall for each unit would be a good idea.
Raine replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

Yep might be a good idea. I’ll do that tmrw unless anyone disagrees… We could post on the main wall to announce new units so anyone interested can join.
JaneShuff replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

Just a thought, but should we make this a private group now. Not because I want to exclude anyone but it’s liable to clutter up the ‘all member’s activity wall’ once we all start contributing. What do you all (including those who don’t plan to do the MA) think?
Raine replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

My lovely books have arrived. If anyone needs it, I’m happy to share photos of the relevant pages (Aside from CalMac ferry vagaries, I don’t want anyone excluded because of book costs). This site doesn’t let you post pictures, I believe (?) but I can do it by email or fb. Just shout…
JaneShuff replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

Woolleybeans, I think we’re all queuing in the playground waiting for the classrooms to appear and have thankfully shoved the responsibility onto you to produce them!
Woolleybeans replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

Mine will arrive on the island when the people who bring them over on the ferry get around to it…

If everyone is okay with me doing so, I’ll set up threads on the relevant components once I have had a sleep, so they will be ready to go.

We have said 3 weeks for this class/segment, so hopefully we will all have our books in plenty of time to…[Read more]
JaneShuff replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

Mine due to arrive Tuesday. Ditto for the excitement…
Kate replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

I should have ordered mine earlier, but they’re on the way now.
Seagreen replied to the topic September 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 6 months ago

Good job, Ath 🙂
And thanks, Squidge. I’ll never look at a paint colour quite the same way again!
Hilary replied to the topic Syllabus and course materials. in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months ago

My books will be arriving shortly. Excited!
Hilary replied to the topic September 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 6 months ago

Well done, Athelstone. And thank you, Squidge.
Jonathan replied to the topic September 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 6 months ago

Nice work Ath 🙂
Athelstone replied to the topic September 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 6 months ago

Thanks Libby and Sandra – and once again, thanks to Squidge!

October beckons.
Sandra replied to the topic September 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 6 months ago

Congratulations on the win Ath, and for what it’s worth I found it uncomfortably horrific in its pervasive cult brainwashing manipulation – the sort of thing I usually avoid reading and very definitely cannot write, so am as admiring as I am uncomfortble with it.

And thanks Squidge for the competition which I took as opportunity to try out a…[Read more]
