I have signed up for an evening class in creative writing. Has anyone here ever attended a creative writing course? I am now not sure what to expect. My last formal training in written english was back in the 1960's with English Language and Literature 'O levels'.
Since retiring a year ago as a Civil Engineer, I have considered writing as a means of entertainment, I normally read a number of novels during the year and believe that I could also write one. I have previously written or co authored 'technical' documents and papers during my career.
I have discovered amongst my ancestors a William Fox esq., He was instrumental in founding Sunday schooling in the 18th century and a memoir of his life was published in the 1830's By a Joseph Ivimay. I would like to novelise a part of Wm. Fox life story. I have started writing and I am 1500 words into it, not a lot I know, but now thinking, will it get ripped apart?
The first class is tomorrow night and I will post again following that. Just after a bit of guidance (and support) really.
Cheers.
