If I get funding for my 'National Centre for Writing' course 'Creative non-fiction', the 'blurb' says 'For the final module, you will pull together everything you’ve learned to produce a 1,500-word piece of non-fiction on a topic of your choice.'
I've already been thinking of a topic, and I'd like to explore 'autism' and other mental health issues (and how they affect my good friend Bodie Best). Even if I'm not able to get on the course, I'd nevertheless like to write it (as a magazine article). Bodie is such an interesting person.
I've also put a few ideas to Beverley Cuddy, the editor of 'Dogs Today' magazine. Here are the ones that were accepted:
· 1) Narrowboat Dog – A dog and their owner who lives aboard narrowboats.
· 2) Urban Dog – A dog and their owners who live in towns or cities. What additional challenges and/or joys do they face?
· 3) Long-distance 'trucker' dog. – A dog that travels in the cab of big trucks with their owners (day and/or overnight).
· 4) Commuting Dog – A dog that travels to and from their owner's place of work (by car, bus, or train)
· 5) Dog at owner's workplace – A dog that spends their days (and/or nights) with their owner at their place of work. Office/Building site/factory etc.
That's all for today. Plenty to be getting on with!
