How I did it: I applied to do the course back in April, and it ran from June to September.I chose to do script analysis, but there are a wide choice of interesting courses within the Writers Programme. I work full time so it was a shock to the system getting used to completing assignments outside of normal working hours. (I had not done a college course in six years so I was rusty!). However, once you are organised and plan when to complete assignments… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I signed up for a ten week course at a local college where various evening classes take place. I had to practice the steps during the week-this didn't always happen. The weeks flew by! A friend signed up with me. Read how I did it…
but they are quite hard to come by-I think I will end up purchasing most of them online. Those which I have already bought are editions which I happened to come by second-hand in various bookshops in Ireland. They are old but nice editions; some from the ‘50s and some older. I’m thinking of getting a Kindle for my birthday/Christmas, but I would still like to read the Anne series the old-fashioned way.
