Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 8 months agoHi @katemachon. Here’s the character questionnaire I did for Dipsy. You’ll see that I ignored some of the questions – basically if nothing comes to mind, I don’t beat myself up about it. I also don’t worry about the answers being particaulrly interesting, so some of it is pretty dull. But I do find them helpful for clarifying and focussing…[Read more]

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 8 months agoThanks Sea! Maybe the bony restless fingers aren’t right… And she is named after a Teletubbies character!

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 8 months agoJust skimmed this, Jane, but I love Dipsy!
Yep, I also found the ‘bony, restless fingers’ at odds with her large hips, (although possibly also influenced by her having the same name as a teletubby :)) -

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 8 months agoThanks @katemachon and @sandradavies. I realise that I should have given some context to this as it’s actually an excerpt from my WIP and, although this is the first time Dipsy actually appears, the reader would know her age and her relationship to the narrator. So sorry.
I will tidy up Dipsy’s character questionnaire and post it if you’d like,…[Read more]

Amazing but true: participants in Songs of Innocence and Experience have just under two months left to complete their short story.

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 8 months agoThinking 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]

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

Janette started the topic Monthly Comp – December 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 9 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.

Well, I’ve read your entries with great enjoyment. Jeanette gave a beautiful allegorical rendition of the passing seasons, Athers made me laugh with his tale of Norman, the folium-phobiac hoist by his own petard, Sandra found a silver lining and Barney completely confounded me with this disturbing narrative – I’m still asking myself, what the h…[Read more]
