Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoThis will be interesting for me – I don’t normally have a clear picture of a character up front – they develop as I write them – so the character questionnaire will be a real challenge. Do I stick with how I usually work or try something new…?

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoMy 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…

OK, I realise there is other stuff going on to occupy you, so let’s keep this simple, and seasonal:

Have fun! -

JaneShuff replied to the topic Writing Practice: Year 1 in the forum
Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoI hope I’ve understood what is required/suggested for this part of the course. My overall aim is to expand my range in terms of writing habits and the type of writing I do which up to now has been very focussed on writing one novel after another.

Oops! Sorry all – got my days mixed up, but anyway, super quality this month.
Sandra – Time to play
Yes! That’s exactly the feeling: that unexpected memory. There’s a lot in these few words. Oddly enough I was thinking about the ‘play’ that’s so often missing from writing, quite recently. So easy to assume that a reverential approach will produc…[Read more] -

Who’s doing NaNo? I seem to have lost all my buddies on the website.

Hang on, I’m writing! I am. I’ll check the website.

My buddies have all gone too 🙁

Woolleybeans replied to the topic Feedback on the Course in the forum
Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoI’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.

Squidge replied to the topic Feedback on the Course in the forum
Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoAll OK here – finding the time to do the writing is hard at the mo, so I need to work on that, but the timings aren’t unachievable. Just that my life needs to calm down!! When does Class 2 go up?

Sandra replied to the topic Feedback on the Course in the forum
Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 6 months agoI’m a bit of a sleeping partner in this; not fully committed, so will dip in and out, attempting to keep to time structure and maybe lax in commenting.
