Welcome to Class 3 of the DIY MA.

This time, we are going with a slightly longer stretch as it’s over the Christmas period. We will have closer to 6 weeks, with Class 4 starting on 6th January. This will give us all time to catch up, regroup, and deal with life over the festive season.

We once again begin with the class reading.

Sorry guys – depression took a massive swipe over the last week and held me up. Just about to get the thread set up for Class 3.

On the subject of self-publishing, two to-be-proofed books uploaded to Blurb on Saturday afternoon were received before midday today. I did wait for a 30% discount offer; ordered six titles in all and p&p was £14.

Raine replied to the topic Craft Seminar Class 2: Character 1 – Outer Worlds in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 4 months ago

Thinking about it, this psychology stuff is probably ‘inner worlds’ rather than the ‘outer worlds’ this unit was supposed to be focusing on. But imo the inner has to come first, right? So anyway, below are some rough notes from Stephanie Hutton’s Psychology of Character workshop (which, if you get the chance to go, is well worth doing). I’m no…[Read more]

Thanks, Janette. I’ve taken the opportunity to post a possible opening of the as yet untitled Luke #5. 362 words.

Prologue?

Lucy Longland, who had only gone to check her hair, emerged from the Ladies in Leith’s Registry Office too prematurely for Dylan Richards to successfully make himself invisible. Her smile a blend of pleasure and warning, s…[Read more]

Well done, J!
Apologies, John. I actually wrote something for this but never got round to tidying it up 🙁

Well done, Jeanette – super piece. Great comp, John!
Janette started the topic Monthly Comp – December 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 4 months ago

In honour of a writing exercise recently enjoyed, and to mark the end of 2019, when I will be judging the entries, please write a piece that contains the words: OLD YEAR NIGHT (in any order and not necessarily together). If you could keep it up to 400 words, that would be great.
Janette replied to the topic Monthly Comp – November 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 4 months ago

Totally unexpected, thanks John. Need to go and put my thinking cap on.
Barny replied to the topic Monthly Comp – November 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 4 months ago

Congratulations, Janette – nice work! And thanks John for the prompt.

Ooh yes that would be fab, thank you @raine. And yes, Julie C is the fabbest 🙂
JaneShuff replied to the topic Monthly Comp – November 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 5 months ago

Congratulations Jeanette. It is a stunning piece of writing. And thanks John for provoking such a great collection of stories!
Sandra replied to the topic Monthly Comp – November 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 5 months ago

Well done, Janette, and thank you John for releasing words I’d not anticipated writing. Thanks also for some brilliantly enjoyable reads.

Just dropping in quickly to say hello, and to apologise for my absence for the last few weeks. Will try and catch up soon. (Nanowrimo kind of took over).
JaneShuff replied to the topic Craft Seminar Class 2: Character 1 – Outer Worlds in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 5 months ago

It would be great if you could try and post some notes from the Stephanie Hutton workshop @raine. I’m at the stage where I find all the exercises very useful – end of first draft and starting the second which is when I try to do serious planning – but I agree timing is everything!
Bella replied to the topic Craft Seminar Class 2: Character 1 – Outer Worlds in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 5 months ago

I’ve been very bad and not even finished the reading assignment. Things keep cropping up to divert me. We are off on a cruise at Christmas with several sea days so I will catch up on all reading then if not before.
