My first entry seems so ambitious now. Yes the course is on but as far as my writing goes I have done diddly squat. I haven’t done any of the exercises and the only work I’ve done for the course is read the course material and written 3 short pieces for the first assessment. I got decent but not brilliant scores and I need to submit the long piece for 70% of the score by the 23rd. I will probably be able to do it and I have enough talent to get a decent score (I hope!) but I have put nothing into this course and am therefore going to get nothing out. But at least I have the course material ad hopefully I will someday make better use of it.

The truth is I o longer enjoy being creative. I don’t do it for fun. And no course is going to change that.
