Stephen Fry

I am reading his book The Ode Less Travelled: Unlocking the Poet Within. I knew he was intelligent,  witty but somehow I didn’t expect a serious book of substance. Shows you how wrong you can be huh?

Writing so far

Well it’s going slowly surprise, surprise!  I do have a good reason for starting later than I thought.  I have been doing a CELTA course (learning to teach English as a foreign language).  This turned out to be a lot more intense than I had expected.  It lasted the whole of June so I have not really done any writing for a bit.  I am ready to get going now though – with renewed vigour.

There is plenty to talk about.  Just think about one area – politics.  In the space of 2 weeks we are leaving the EU, getting a new Prime Minister (yes a woman), and watching the Labour Party disintegrate in front of our very eyes.  Plenty of material there.

 

Wtf?

I am doing a creative writing course at:

The idea of this learning log is to keep ideas thoughts etc throughout the course about how the learning experience is going.

I am also doing a journal everyday with ideas,  which I will draw on when writing assignments.

I have never done this before so bear with me please.
