Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 7 months agoMine 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]

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 8 months agoOk, so. We wouldn’t need to be massively set in stone on a lot of it. I figure the following:
1) Making each ‘class’ in the craft seminars span 3 weeks actually means that with the odd week taken off as a break, the craft seminars would fit nicely into 2 years without being massively heavy time-wise. A couple of hours a week, it reckons, doing it…[Read more]

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 8 months agoIt looks to me as though a timetable including discussion and feedback would be good on all three aspects, if we are going the route of having a timetable in the first place.
For one thing, the writing practice can include the exercises for the craft seminars, or could be some of the ones Andrew suggests but which are not chosen for the craft…[Read more]

No, hang on a minute. Why should I? Works both ways, dunnit?

Totally applicable to any family member. They should undergo training for being partnered with a writer. Step one, don’t come home early without prior warning!

Back in the days when I had a young family I used to do all my writing at dead of night when everyone else was in bed. I particularly remember one summer night when I got so carried away that dawn was breaking before I stopped.
I can’t do either anymore. Write in the small hours (brain turns to mush), or get carried away like that. Sigh…

I found a third one today. None of them are for the same plot.

I decided to copy/paste a scene from an earlier draft of my ever-in-progress novel. What I found was at least two nearly full drafts (in terms of wordcount) that I have little memory of writing.

I think that might be quite exciting WB! Maybe time to reread them.

Wowser – stick ’em together and you might have THE finished article!

This place exists because a bunch of us saw the Cloud thinning out and dispersing and decided we’d better have somewhere to drift off to.

Woolleybeans replied to the topic Terminal discouragement? in the forum Coffee Shop 7 years ago
When I see post from people talking about some version of UWS or whatever the letters were, it seems to have a lot to do with being arty with words but without really knowing what they want to say. And not just for the joy of playing in the wordbox, which I think most writers have done at some point or another (gods, but teen-me loved fancy words,…[Read more]
