The End is Near

My on-line writing course ends this week. Where did the last eight weeks go? I have enjoyed it thoroughly, improving my own writing, while critiquing my classmates work as well. It has been very time consuming yet I have made cyberspace friends, I feel my writing has improved and I have a clear direction for my novel.



I will miss our weekly schedule of submissions to read, plus the thrill of tossing out questions for to group, never knowing what type of response I would receive back from them. It is not for the faint hearted. They were tough but I know it helped me grow and isn't that what it is all about - finding the right words to tell your story, to bring your characters to life?



Damn right it is! Thanks guys!

Writing Course

I have been taking an on-line writing course for 5 weeks now and I must confess - I love it. I wish it would never end. I have gotten so much feedback on Immortal Obsession, most of it good I must admit. I still don't have an adequate ending. I hate happy endings. Life just doesn't always work out that way you know? At best we endure and if we are really lucky we find love, a sense of inner peace and happiness in one form or another. I love writing more than most anything else and perhaps one day I will be able to devote my day to this creative process.



The class liked Christian and Michel, my two immortals. I like them too. Perhaps one day you will meet them!
