Creative Writing

I started my creative writing course last night so you may see my blog writing improve...

We did some freewriting which I love. I tend to blurb everything down on paper anyway. Freewriting is getting into the subconcious and just writing without thinking or stopping for say 10 minutes. You pick a phrase or word (for example) 'I had the strangest dream.......' - then you just let it all out - like verbal diarrhea. I of course have no trouble - what with all the stuff in my crazy head!

My initial desire is to write a memoir - maybe of nans life, or base a fiction novel around her life story. The other is to write about my own life. Who knows, I could move into a whole other tangent. Stay tuned.....
