Study Journey ~ The Road Ahead

bristol2brighton

It began way back in 2019. And anything pre-covid feels even longer than seven years ago – it feels like a different century sometimes! But that is when my creative writing degree journey began. After being inspired, encouraged and supported by my wife I started an academic trip that I would never have thought possible for me, or even had the courage or the belief to undertake at any other point in my life. But now the final part of this long and arduous and sometimes seemingly endless, but extremely fulfilling journey is about to begin. This week I will … Continue reading Study Journey ~ The Road Ahead

A New Way Of Life – Day 8

Some things will continue…. Much of what we describe as normal life has ground to a halt, or at least slowed to a walking pace. One thing in my life that hasn’t halted is my studies; in fact, in the not too distant future they may actually accelerate due to having more time on my hands. I still have exercises and projects to work on, and the deadlines, like an unwanted visit from scary Great Aunt Bertha, are still there to be met. There are books to be read, both text and fiction, notes to be made and assignments to … Continue reading A New Way Of Life – Day 8
