Reflections on Assignment 5
Writing Skills is completed. Assignment 5 is sent and I eagerly await my tutor's feedback. I feel much better about this assignment because I gave myself enough time to develop a story. I took notice of the assignments statement: step beyond most of the experiments and projects you have tried out so far, and move into a … Continue reading Reflections on Assignment 5

Reflections on Assignment 4
Oh dear...I'm deeply mortified about Assignment 4. I knew when I sent it off that it wasn't good and boy was I right! I should've given myself more time instead of leaving it until the last minute...literally. It's really important to do the exercises and take my notebook everywhere. When I look back at my … Continue reading Reflections on Assignment 4
The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Learner
The last few months have been a challenge. I haven't enjoyed the course as much as I did in the beginning. Procrastination has become my frenemy and I am increasingly frustrated with myself. I had to extend a deadline from November to December and wrote assignment 3 in sheer panic because I was about to … Continue reading The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Learner
A Person of Interest
With six days to go until assignment 2 is due, I'm pleased to announce that it's finished. It has been a long slog to get to this moment and I am glad to see the back of it. It's not that I haven't enjoyed writing about my character, I have, it's just that my time … Continue reading A Person of Interest
Bedtime Stories
When I hit a brick wall with my writing I start to get grumpy. My poor family is often subject to this and know the signs: still in pyjamas at 4pm, incoherent ramblings, furious typing, the shrill voice of doom "it's hopeless" etc, etc, they know to fend for themselves and leave me alone. Assignment … Continue reading Bedtime Stories
Still Here…
Creative Corner, I've neglected you. Since my last posting, I have struggled with Writing Skills Part 2. Thanks to the summer holidays, it's more to do with finding the time to sit and study whilst family, teenage children, in particular, need to be organised and fed at various times of the day - I seem … Continue reading Still Here…
Observe & Report
I must confess I haven't been writing as frequently as I would like. I have a good reason though, the 'murrycle' of Andy Murray has kept me glued to my television and sofa for the last week or so. My heart on more than one occasion has been in my mouth especially during the numerous … Continue reading Observe & Report
Reflections on Assignment 1
Excitement soon turned to trepidation when I discovered that I’d have to write poetry, more so when I had to submit two poems for my first assignment. I love to read poetry. I’m in awe of people who spend hours creating mellifluous lines with hidden meanings and stand out metaphors. I, however, am not one … Continue reading Reflections on Assignment 1
