Hi there - Gippstafe students officially started their online courses this week - welcome to any who have stepped across to check this out.
I know I had a list of things to blog for everyone, so I'll make a little start on it.
Check out www.goodreads.com for a quick n'easy way of keeping track electronically of your reading. This also connects you to a larger reading network. If you've succumbed to the procrastination machine that is facebook, you can do a search for all your reading friends.
For punctuating dialogue check out this article.
Thanks to Stewart and Denis for being the first up to workshop in Novel 2! Good to get a handle on what you both are writing. And for everyone who participated in the character chair exercise - thanks - great to hear about your central characters and I hope you learnt something more about them, too.
Writing exercise: (for your writer's journal)
Write a letter to your character's younger self from one of their parents. You know those letters that parents sometimes write to be opened on yoru eighteenth birthday or whatever? You can make it quite specific - it could be a letter written after an argument, for example, or before a big event. It could be a celebratory letter. It could be a pull-your-socks-up letter!
Happy writing...
