Well begun...

...is half done. That comment originally came from Aristotle I believe, but it certainly sprang to mind as we celebrated a successful first week of study. Well begun maybe, but it's still only the first week. It's a long way from being even half done, and to be honest it didn't really feel like work at all. It felt as though I was on holiday with a group of friends I'd known all my life.

Here's a photo by the way; a post-production pose of writers, actors, producer and sound engineer. A few faces missing amongst the 'writers' I'm afraid, which is a shame because it was one of those 'once in a lifetime moments' that come to us all too rarely.
















Next week will bring us all crashing back to Earth I suspect, and though I'm tempting fate by saying so, I reckon I'm about ready for it. Me and my two A4 pages of reasoned argument on the pros and cons of 'Pre-nuptial agreements'; a single sentence description of my physical attributes, two more sentences on my psychological attributes, (only two?), and a list of my ten favourite books of all time.

Interesting huh? Particularly when you suspect the tutor is going to tear your precious submission to shreds in three minutes flat. You ought to try it some time, if nothing else that knowledge alone concentrates the mind beautifully. Maybe I need to go over that 'Pre-nup' thing again...

  4. Thank you Julie, yes everyone was buzzing when that picture was taken. We'd just completed the final take on the final sketch, and didn't realise we still had a day and a half of editing ahead of us.
    New skills...
    Chris.

  5. Ah, but you're a writer. You should have known you couldn't get away without having to do editing. ;)

    Well done, and congratulations on surviving your first week of classes!

  6. Thank you K. Yes editing comes with the scene I guess; it's something we all need to do, and do well.
