Creative writing course has kicked off today. Several new people have, excitedly for me, turned up. A few of last term’s heavywights are no more, so I have moved up from being the new boy to an old hand. I feel quite good about this, strangely enough. Some of the new guys are published, so it’s all going to be very interesting. We have been given an interesting exercise to do this week, which I’m going to have to think about before I attack itf. I have made very careful notes of what is required, so as to try and lift the standard of presentation above the usual level of crap I manage to produce. I’m actually quite excited about it all.
I’ve been reading the utterings from my friend in Bedfordshire who has not only got some plays published, but is now also having them performed both here and the USA. I am delighted for him and only slightly jealous, in the nicest possible way. Talent will out!
The picture of my Granddaughter which was published as part of my birthday greetings yesterday has a big stir from lots of people. It is a super little image of her. We will be seeing her again quite soon.
The Caro Emerald CD has driven me back to Kirsty MacColl, and Tropical Rainstorm is coming from the Sonos as I write these few words before I return to the paper shuffling which I haven’t quite finished.
