I love this idea, Ali. I used to write for fun and for working things through in my head. I still do the latter, sometimes. But more recently I've fallen into the trap of feeling as if all writing time must be 'productive'. I'm excited to see how this exercise goes for you and it's made me think it's something I'd like to try while on maternity leave.
YES! That's it, I used to do the same, and now it's work it's just not as good anymore. So bring back the fun. Good luck with maternity leave, I used to perch the babies between me and the laptop as I fed them. Ha, the days!
I definitely went away from the course invigorated, restored and inspired by both tutors Ali & Alexander and the students.
What a gorgeous post to read during my "Blame O'clock" wakings! I'm inspired to create "Play O'clock" sessions to filtrate my daily life whether I'm interacting with my cat, writing, walking or thinking about cleaning the house.

Good! I keep thinking of your final piece and how brilliant it was.
'Blame O'Clock wakenings' - I know them too well. Really looking forward to playing more often. Have fun!
