Today.....

...I'm feeling a little better about the writing thing. Since my last post I've only managed about 300 words - but- Thats way more than I've written over the holidays and it gave me a chance to pull everything out, find all my drafts (because you loose marks if you don't include them) and plan the entire story. I've got a few things I need to find out but I'll ring my auntie for that. I need info on premature babies and she's a midwify person on a premature baby ward - so I think I picked a good topic. lol.

Also, I have completed my first poem! well, it can still be changed but I'm happy with it. Not brilliant considering I want about 20 poems by the end of march - but it's a start. Thats how I'm going to look at it. At least I've done some of it. There are some people on my course that haven't even put pen to paper yet and have about 12 weeks and a bit to write 10,000 words. At least I'm planned and started.

Right, I'm going to go and read, because I also have to do a critical essay on a contemporary work of fiction.
Night night.
