Eliza Heatley, thank you so much for your review. I’m thinking of starting a volume of short stories to get back into writing. You have encouraged me to keep going :)

@DianeSchofield I think this will be me too. I need to go with the flow and try and get a completed story then edit the final piece ruthlessly and keep rewriting till it’s acceptable!

The gurgling of the coffee machine, after the violent grinding of the fresh beans: this was the daily “clocking-in” signal for Kate to head up to the box room, steaming mug in hand, to investigate which particular type of writer’s ‘block’ she would encounter that day. Every day began with the ‘block’: the distractive block; the fidgety block; the utter-despair...

It’s so interesting that we all notice different things isn’t It?

Me too! You have expressed exactly how I felt too and I will definitely be continuing with it. Amazingly deep sensations despite it being a pretty minor issue for me. Hand on heart seemed natural and I felt a comfort from it. Thank you so much for introducing me To this technique. Life changing.

Many people in this forum sound as if they are very experienced writers? I am just starting out with ‘serious’ writing, although I was an English teacher for many years. I imagined the course to be for folk who hadn’t really done much writing before. Do we have professional writers contributing....? That’s great if we do! ✍️

Grimly, the ocean forced its way angrily between the rocks, devouring everything its path. There was no sanctuary, no altar here.

Love this. I'm not usually inspired to post comments, but you should develop this. I'm intrigued alread, and I like the written style. Showing not telling is so effective here. :)

Her friend, Chi, had marvelled at her glittery nail varnish last week when they were in Superdrug; today it look tawdry and unsophisticated, especially as her nails were uneven and roughly nibbled after her nervous bus ride this morning.

The cream jumper had seemed the perfect garment when she pulled it over her head earlier in the day, but now it seemed at odds with the sterile white surroundings of the university cafe. Even the styrofoam cup made the jumper look jaded and jaundiced. The crumpled notebook tucked under her keys contained all her preparation, but ultimately singled her out as...

Glad you were taken in! I did lose them, but not at all tempted to give up, I didn't cry and my husband wouldn't be that mean! Weaving fact and fiction not as difficult as it seems then...

I'm sorry, but I wrote two paragraphs and the Internet went down. They disappeared which made me cry, so I'm almost tempted to give up. My husband told me not to bother rewriting them.
The truth is I've always loved writing, ever since I can remember. My mother said I wrote my first play when I was seven and my brother and I performed it at Christmas. ...

Sorry, two! Window and visitors' book. They seem so personal and a testament to the huge reach of WS 'everywhere'.

I have so enjoyed this course, especially looking at the works from a different angle. As an English teacher, there are plays I have read, studied and taught again and again, but I have been shown many new things to help me inspire students during the course. So. Thank you. Great experience!

Agree, it has to be the First Folio. Amazing this exists and what it has created throughout the world since its publication.

Roman coin appeals, as I just can't get my head around an item surviving as long as this!

Engraving of Christian slave trade is fascinating, especially in view of today's hindsight. We don't hear about Christian slaves very much, but of course, slavery was an important trade for hundreds, well actually, thousands of years, amongst all religions, cultures and empires.

My favourite is Dr John Hall's casebook, because it brings us so close to the real Shakespeare and his family.

Money pot is my favourite. Love the idea that this was smashed to get the takings. Is this where 'smash hit' comes from?
