The Bridesmaid

As I await the final assessment of the first three chapters of my WIP from my course tutor, I’ve been pondering my results so far.

For each of my creative pieces to be considered “outstanding and show potential for publication”, I had to get marks of 85-100 %.

Here is what I’ve achieved:

Freewrite (autobiographical piece) – 81%
Short story- 84%
Poetry – 81%
Life writing – 78%
Writing for a particular magazine – 81%

So there you have it, gorgeous bloggie friends.

For now I’m feeling like I’m forever destined to be the bridesmaid and never the bride – because I really tried with these pieces and they’re still not good enough. Aaaaaargh!

Have a 100% marvellous Monday everyone!

Head Over Heels

As my writing course winds down, the itch to continue learning something burns bright and breezy within me!

And I think I found my ideal course courtesy of South Thames College.

Fantastic bloggie friends, the course that has caught my restless eye is wonderfully entitled:

"Sexy Heels in the City : a six-week class in how to walk in high heels”

In this course I will learn the following: the main aspects to wearing killer heels successfully are foot exercises, adopting Alexander techniques for good posture, relaxing knees and working towards achieving a good balance.

Unfortunately it’s now finished.

But if such a thing ever crops up again, I shall be first in the queue.

I am of course being entirely fictitious.

The course however hasn’t been.

Charlie says: You’ll need a PhD to walk in these!



Have a balanced Friday everyone!
