Ok so here goes with my real posting. I have been worried since my last post as to whether I have made the right decision about writing this blog. I have to realise that the more writing I do the better I will get (or that's what I hope anyway).
I have recently received my feedback for my first assignment on my writing course and I have to say it was quite good. Considering I have never written anything to be marked on a professional level I was quite pleased with myself. Knowing that my grammar and spelling is just fine, knowing I'm not a complete idiot, I am a tad more confident with my writing.
I have submitted my second assignment and am patiently, ok not so patiently, awaiting the return of the feedback.
My problem is that I don't know whether my writing is 'good enough'! On a professional level. To add to my problem, I have never written anything non-fiction before. All of the advice I have heard is to write about what I know. I feel that I am not really an interesting person. The interests I do have are not the kind of interests you see in a magazine, not to me anyway.
Still my main problem is I don't know whether to carry on with my third assignment, not knowing whether I am going in the right direction with my writing, or do I wait for my feedback to make sure I don't make the same mistakes again??
I am sure I will find a solution to my problem, or so I am very much hoping.
So for now I will bid you all good night...

Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI have just had assignment 16 (F8) marked and returned to me and even at this stage I got through exactly what you have described.
Although it didn't stop me from writing a novel and start searching for an agent whilst getting on with the second novel which I have now started to write and the third has it's plotline ready and waiting fo me when I have finished the second and got it sorted. I also have an idea for novels which have no relation to the three I am already working on.
Most of my assignments have been about things I am interested in or have done as hobbies in the past.
As for blogging I blog about what I have done, places I have visited and things like that. It keeps my hand in at writing as well as giving me ideas for things that might go in the novels I am writing.
