In just a few days now I'll be resuming my studying with the Open University. I've had far too much fun over the holidays and really need to knuckle down with some pre-reading material.
After finishing A215 (Creative Writing) I has weeks ahead of me - weeks!
I ordered the recommended books my tutor advised I read for the Advanced Creative Writing course and what did I do with them? I put them on a shelf and forgot about them. I did Campnanowrimo (twice), I went on a couple of camping trips with the boys, went shopping, watched some movies - what I didn't do was read.
And now I don't have time. I'm trying to edit one of my books for submissions to...well I can't remember who, but the cut off is on 14th October and I still have 50,000 words to wade through, most of which needing a complete rewrite. It means I'll be starting my two courses late (nothing strange there) and then playing catch up.
So that's where I'm up to, and I figured that as everyone else is religiously writing on their blogs I should at least write a post (so I can hold my head up and say I'm up to date with blogging - for the time being at least).
Speak to you again in about six months.
