Thoughts
I have this uncomfortable feeling that I'm being lulled into a false sense of security with my new Creative Writing course. I sense there will be more criteria than I first imagined. OK- so it is free writing but it must have structure, originality and be readable and enjoyable. Now I'm thinking that with Social Science essays there are obvious rules to follow but the rules are sort of hidden with Creative Writing - but they are there. Simply do my best, listen well to my tutor comments and advice and follow them if I can.
I am impressed by the number of tutors on A215 that are published playrights, authors and scriptwriters. I've looked several up in Amazon and they have books for sale. One author is a current chicklit author with impressive reviews from readers and newspaper literary critics. Unfortunately, my tutor doesn't even have a Resume let alone a Blog or personal website.
I feel I may be past the chicklit stage -even though I still have a certain element of Bridget Jones in me - and considering writing about HRT and pre/post menopausal women. Maybe I could call it 'The Patch Club' Copyright Morning 2006!

What's with the copyright notice? Is this the first advice on the OU Writing course?
No it isn't Rob. Lots of the students doing this course have been published in some form or another - specialist magazines, articles and such and there's often this confusion with the OU about ownership of submitted TMAs, so it was a bit of tongue in cheek by me.
I'm sure there's a reg. somewhere that covers it.
