Something positive I'd like to share

Although it doesn't seem relevant now with the huge fall I've had, but during the year I was in counselling I did a creative writing course with the OU. It was a huge struggle but I did it and I achieved something. Some of the course work covered autobiography, and even if the assignment was to write fiction I still wrote autobiography. Doing that course, I learnt how to take seemingly unrelated pieces of my life and weave them together in a strange way, and I learnt how to use simple everyday objects to inspire me to recollect simple insignificant things and just write about them and anything that came into my head while I was writing. The wonderful thing about it, is that it helped me to connect with me and the child I was. I came to value myself.

if i lived in the uk , i would have definitely gone on course of creative writing. Inside me there is a book to be written..and not because i want to be famous or best seller stuff, but my own personal pleasure.

Expressing myself in words has always been frustrating and i am an artist of visual things...i gotta book i made for my profile as a graphic designer, but am not satisfied
i want to write a book..humorous, comedy.

i do envy you. What is OU?

Maybe an internet course,? i have tried, but give up straight away cos i need other humans in bodily form to egg me on ,,

the weaving of real life in fiction is what i want to do exactly.
