write at the end

Still trying to understand this new-fangled 'Blog' thingy ... and failing. Persistence is the key I'm sure, so here we are on day two. I've slipped a photo and a few extra details into my profile. It doesn't look all that different from yesterday I'm afraid, and I know it'll be some time before I understand what's going on.

Had another Creative Writing course in Ilkley last night, challenging as ever. Sometimes it seems to have taken on a life of it's own with Mark just sitting there and smiling while the rest of us argue as to the relative merits of Flannery O'Connor and Charles Bukowski. I reckon he's smiling because he knows he's doing what he set out to do. Demolish any preconceptions we might have about our writing, and make us rethink them. That's fine, but there's no way I'm going to copy Bukowski Mark, he just ain't my scene.

Now I need to finish off my application to Uni. College of Falmouth for next years Professional writing MA. And yes, you read it right, I am 64 years of age. Hence the blog title, 'Write at the end...' Well, not quite the end - not yet.
