Over the past few weeks, I've come to realise something. This Masters is really, truly and honestly improving my writing. I mean, I know that sounds obvious, but it needs mentioning. I can literally feel myself, week on week, learning more and getting better; writing more and writing better. Especially yesterday, when I (and I think everybody in the class) really discovered something about their own style, and their own strengths and weaknesses. We also tried 'Distant' Writing, which I loved. More on that in a few days.
One of my favourite things from this course so far, is this checklist; designed to help you to write scenes that are more engaging and interesting. And on top of that, it actually gets you (well,
me) sat on my arse and writing. The checklist was originally written as questions, but I simplified them...
... to fit conveniently on a 3"x5" index card...
... which fits even more conveniently in the accordion pocket of my
Moleskine notebook.
Love it. Thank you, Margaret.
