A New Beginning

I received my course notes the other day and have been working through the Activities with vigour. I have a journal, a notebook to put in ideas and notes off the course, its handy and there is so much information that I know I chose correctly. Normally we choose courses to further our education for jobs we are taking, it makes a change to chose a course for bettering our skills at writing, something we always knew we were better at than perhaps the chosen career and the SVQ we HAD to take.
I know there will be elements of the course I will not understand and I'm glad that I have a good friend who has set me on the right path to look out for things within the story. Things I never contemplated before, but know I have to do, this is after all University stuff as oppose to Technical college. I'm bettering myself for all the right reasons and I'm loving it.

I received a note from the tutor about the story/novel I've written, he asks if I would like to send in my first chapter for the others to see and give feedback on, as I mentioned I appear to commentate instead of narrate. It would be nice to hear what others think, the more people that give feedback the better I think. I can take it or leave it, but it's interesting to see what people consider my work to be. I only hope that when the course is over in January that I have learnt some valuable lessons to take onto my writing. The story has to be written, I want it to be written, it must be put out there.
