Wednesday Writings

 

 

Some studying (a lot) and writing (a little) today. Also sorting out all my documents, images and files. If I don't do it on a regular basis I get in a terrible muddle. For the rest of the afternoon, into the early evening, I'm going to do some more studying.

Chillin' - almost!

I took a day off from researching/writing any of my current projects today. I did, however, do some studying of Unit 4 (Finding and developing the angle.) of my 'Article Writing and Freelance Journalism' course.

69 Today!

I'm 69 today and Simon's just served up a brilliant lunch of steak, chips, mushrooms, tomatoes, and gravy. I couldn't eat another thing until I'm 70!

I've just started an 8-week online course in 'Article Writing and Freelance Journalism' with 'Writing Magazine'. I'm doing it as I want to be a better writer for a wider range of magazines and in more depth.
