Thinking outloud

I should be getting on with my work, but my brain's ticking over (processing cancellations will do that to you...) and I wanted to get this particular thought dealt with.

My french course finishes at the end of the month, and I'm pretty glad about that. I could do with the rest, even if I haven't exactly been studying the way I'm supposed to. But I want to do some more courses, eventually earning myself a degree. The next ones I'm thinking of doing involve writing, and I've been having difficulty doing that of late. Anything I have managed to get written just hasn't felt right.

So, the point of this entry is as follows; would you guys be willing to help me get into practise again? The idea being that someone gives me a topic to write something short about, with a week to complete it. I'm likely to have to write something outside of my comfort zone on more than one occasion on these courses.

Thoughts? Smelly kippers? ;-)

My pleasure!

As Richard and Rach often say... "Shameless facilitator". :)

Sometimes that can be a good thing!

I have till February to either prepare or talk myself out of this. It's only a twelve week course, and there's one starting in October, but I don't have £145 at the moment. I think getting some practise in will do me good - the Writers Block thing LJ puts on the MyLJ page is what inspired me.

I've looked at that a couple times myself. They've had some fun topics. By Feb. with some practice, you should know whether or not you really want to do it. :)

Good evaluation period.
