Today was supposed to start course in Creative Writing at local community college, alas, received phone call the other day informing me that course cancelled. Not enough people signed up!
(lazy hippies)
Bugger.
Had spent weeks and weeks gearing up for this course. Look - bought notebook:
Expectations had on course:
1. Meet array of amazingly interesting and like-minded people
2. Get loads of constructive how-to ideas regarding how to be successful writer
3. Immediately arrive at several brilliant and inspired ideas for writing projects which to undertake
4. Evolve into full-fledged author
5. Finish book within three months
So this new development has put serious dent in plans... Realise, looking at list of expectations, that perhaps had set sights a little high.
Possible alternative outcome of course:
1. Meet array of bored housewives and assorted hippies
2. Get told writing will flow naturally as long as you let it (hmm, no)
3. Immediately think of 0 ideas (same number as now)
4. Not evolve into author
5. Not finish book
No problem. Will get back to drawing board on this one.
Will start by making list of things that potentially makes one a flourishing author... (Liking list today.)
1. Unrequited love
2. Terrible childhood
3. Drug abuse
4. Life-changing near death experience
5. Fantastic imagination
Ok...
1 - No. 2 - No. 3 - No. 4 - No...
Great. Have to rely on imagination.

Haha, that's OK- imagination is the best anyway! I'm thinking J.K Rowling, Stephanie Meyer, Astrid Lindgren etc etc etc :)
Bummer that the course was cancelled...
