That bit was fine, only while I was there I also took a look at the books covering 'The First Fleet', when the first female convicts were transported to Australia on the 'Lady Penrhyn.'
I got a bit of a roasting for always tending to take the easy option in that first term, and it was tempting to follow that line and work on polishing 'Long Journey Home'. I even submitted the first 35 pages, all neat and tidy, only to change my mind again. I'm resurrecting the First Fleet story I did for Nanowrimo in 2007, though I haven't really worked on it since.
So if I needed a challenge, there it is. I'll print off the first 35 pages, present it to Derek tomorrow and wait for the explosion. Watch this space!
We also had the Bloc launch on Friday evening, the short story contest relaunched along with the Profwriting.com website. Networking they call it, though I did get the chance to snatch a few shots of my fellow students, Samantha, Tom and Ben this time.
Well, time to go. Doctor's in the morning and then up to Tremough to see what Derek makes of my decision.
Oz.
Is this where I poke fun at you for not being able to make up your mind about anything, so that you can do the same in return?
ReplyDeleteThe challenge will be good for you, though. It's a better opportunity for growth, and isn't that what this is all about?
At the moment all I'm bothered about is survival. I'm still here, struggling to write anything meaningful at the moment, but that's something all writers have to get through isn't it?
