As somebody pointed out to me recently this blog has not been updated for some time, tut tut. I have now finished the creative writing course a215 with a pass 3, dissapointed that some of my tma scores let me down as my high ECA result meant I was only two percent off a pass 2. Never mind. I am going to struggle on with a363 next, and am already working on some short story plans to help me along.
I cannot wait to get stuck back into studying as i think my OH will agree i'm a nightmare when I haven't got any deadlines to stress about :)

Waiting for results.
Well I am eagerly waiting for my TMA04 results :( still no sign. I feel like I cant carry on with life writing till I get them. My heads a little fuzzy today. I have ordered Alain de Bottons Kiss and Tell for the life writing section but its looking like its going to be a while until it is here.
It was my first week of reduced hours at work this week, it makes soooooo much difference having an extra day to study/write/catch up on house work. Although I havent done any writing this week, i'm going through a "reading" phrase. Am reading The Other Queen by Phillipa Gregory and How was it for you? by Carmen Reid. Both going quite well, always like the Tudor books by Phillipa Gregory though particularly The Other Boleyn Girl.

Feeling great today, :) (apart from nursing a small hangover) have been writing a short story which I thought I'd never be able to do again after the poetry section on A215. So yay me. I'm well on my way with the life writing activities. Plus I have just been told I can reduce my hours at work so I can concentrate more on Uni and Writing :) all in all a good week after a not so couple of good weeks early feb.

First Blog
Helloooo!!!
My first blogspot, how momentus :) I'm doing this mainly for my writing career, as writing a little everyday in this thing is surely going to help in one way or another... I hope.
I'm taking a creative writing course at the moment, wrting poetry, very interesting. And much more difficult than expected! I'm lucky the others on the course are so willing to help each other, we'd all be lost without each other!
I have entered one competition since starting on the course on conceptscifi.com, it was a 150 word flash fiction piece... I got shortlisted.. Yay!
Here is my entry;
Shattered Mirror
I have this condition, a disability with unknown insight. I am able to see society’s inner monster. Every time you intentionally cause pain or disrupt the natural flow to life it leaves an indent on your soul, you become changed and in my eyes literally disfigured.
It crushes you to see all the evil alive in the world, but I cried all my tears away a long time ago. I have not shed a tear since my mother died when I was nine years old. On the same day my mother died, my dad returned home barely recognisable. It was from that moment I knew the kind of corrupt world I was living in. He could never look me in the eyes from that day, knowing that I knew the monster he had become. It was from this day that my destiny fell into place. My curse became my gift.

Sadly I didnt win, but the piece that did was amazing, head over to the website to check it out :)
