Wednesday

 I've done as much as I can of my Open University course for a few days. This is what my next activity requires me to do:-

1. If possible, put the passage aside for a few days before re-reading it.
2. Identify any moments when you have explained your characters’ thoughts or feelings. Now replace most of these abstract thoughts or feelings with lines that show your characters’ reactions through their behaviour. 

So, I'm leaving it aside until tomorrow. I'll then carry on until the end of the week.

Yesterday, and today, I have, and will, work my way through the 'Writers & Artists Yearbook 2023' and the 'Writers Handbook 2023' to find possible markets and competitions for my poetry and fiction.

All for now.

It's early evening now. I had a rest this afternoon after submitting 8 poems to 3 magazines. I'm listening to/watching the concert version of 'Chess'. When that's finished, I'll probably watch the concert version of Jeff Wayne's 'War of the Worlds'.

I must get down and write some more poetry and short stories.

That's all for now.
