End of Term

Today was the last time our MA year got together. We heard the last round of presentations on agency/publisher placements. Am so glad that I am a part-timer as I am so enjoying the course I don't want it to end. We celebrated by having hot chocolate with Fay Weldon. I am now reading The Seven Plots by Christopher Booker. It will be interesting to see how it compares to Story by Robert McKee.

Parisian Inspiration

Have spent five days in Paris and really got into The Story by Robert McKee. I had promised myself that I would finish reading it before starting the novel plan but got carried away on croissants and wine and have now completely changed the two main characters and their back stories. Unfortunately am now back at work and having to put my mind on less creative activities for nine hours a day.
