Hello to you all,
I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and you are looking forward to the new year celebrations.
My Christmas was great, I got a kindle, some writing and poetry books as well as books for my up coming open university course starting in February. I also got a new printer which was desperately needed!
On the writing side I've not had to much time to study my course but I have written 3 draft poems over Christmas:
1. A horror dream poem (no title yet)
2."Fantasy spill" (May change title when I am more happy with the poem.)
3. "Please Sir, I've been abducted by Aliens"
All three are in the very early stages but it has been a good time for ideas flowing and putting pen to paper, I'm thinking of turning "Fantasy spill" into a short story as well in the new year.
That’s it for now as I will post a happy new year post this week as well, most likely Saturday.
Happy Holidays!

Progress
Hello to you all,
I hope you have had a great writing week.
For me it has been good, I have written the first draft of a poem - about the loss of someone from childhood who you have trouble remembering - I've started a writers notebook and have five writing ideas to get on with...oh and I've updated my blog, yay!
On the writers Bureau side of things for my creative writing course I have made a small start, I'm hoping by the time I update next week I will have finished studying the first 3 modules and started my first assignment. For my poetry course I have finished module 1 and I'm now starting the first assigment, If the re drafts of the poem that I started this week come out good I will include that then I just need to hope inspiration strikes again and soon!
Thats about it this week I plan to study and hopefully write a rough draft of at least one of my ideas before I update next Tuesday.
Until then,
Happy writing!

Getting back to it!
Well as you can see from my last entry, I have not been keeping up with my blog...
I have been busy though, I decided to take a degree with the open university so I have been doing a few of the shorter courses to see if it is for me. I have been really enjoying it so I have signed up for the level 1 60 pointer - Arts past and present course. Fingers crossed I will get financial support.
I haven't made any progress with my Writers Bureau course however, which I'm quite sad about but I am going to start again next week, I've put aside 2-3 hours each morning I'm not at work so that should be enough to get me started and hopefully I can get my first assignment off straight after Christmas (I need to wait for my new printer you see)
Other than that I have been catching up with some old forgotten friends from my bookshelf, which is always tremendous fun! As you can see I have also updated my blog page, I wanted it more clear and crisp but still Stimulating, hopefully I have achieved that.
I am going to aim for an update each week on a Tuesday night and see how that goes, but if its to much I may take it down to once a fortnight.
That’s it for news from me, I will be back on Tuesday.
