You're definitely not alone in losing momentum - that's why a weekly class was a useful thing!<br /><br />Karen - I'm glad you liked The Bower Bird, but I'm sorry you live too far away to attend my courses. Couldn't you combine Oxford and Cambridge and call it a research trip?! (I seem to recall you were going to visit Cambridge at some point .l..)<br /><br />Lena - thanks for stopping by. I agree about children's books: they're of brilliant quality these days, with writers of the calibre of Marcus Sedgewick and Sally Gardner, for instance. My next read will be the latest Michelle Paver in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series, which I've followed all the way through. The courses I'm planning to run won't be online (not yet, anyway - I'm not technological enough) - they'll be one day courses held here in Oxford. At present, I'm putting my website together - so watch this space. Hope you can manage to wrest control of the computer from your boys now and again! Mine are 17 and 14, so I recognise the problem ...Lorna Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902741383469719107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874888511895059748.post-3578723588539528002009-09-01T15:11:47.279+00:002009-09-01T15:11:47.279+00:00Hey - that mug would be welcome on my shelf any da...Hey - that mug would be welcome on my shelf any day!<br /><br />You know, I must have spent my later life reading children's books as much as adult material. I'll definitely keep these books in mind.<br /><br />I'm doing my best to get back into creative writing - for my own pleasure, I suppose - but life seems to get in the way just as inspiration grabs me!<br /><br />Your online course sounds good. My only fear would be that I wasn't there regularly enough. As a fairly low income family, we all have to share one computer and the boys' studies (I've a 15 and a 20 year old!) get priority. Oh, well, one can dream....Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447013188405986054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874888511895059748.post-72647575515608365842009-08-26T18:47:34.186+00:002009-08-26T18:47:34.186+00:00The photo looks good!
