I'm considering doing a foundation writing course at an Adult Education Centre and would love some opinion and feedback from everyone. I wrote for Fanzines and Webzines as a teenager and a young man but never pursued it properly despite now working as a Publisher!

Here's the course link: http://www.citylit.ac.uk/courses/Cr...s_creative_writing/Ways_into_creative_writing

It's only £157 for 12 weeks at 2 hours a week. I was hoping it'd give me the kick up the proverbial that I was looking for. Anyone given something similar a go? Just bear in mind that I haven't done anything resembling education for the best part of 10 years and I'm worried I won't take it seriously.

Thoughts?

I don't know who that is!

Didn't you return to education at one point? A full time course would kill me as I'm used to working and the benefits it brings (i.e. being paid) but I'm not learning anything these days. Just going through the daily grind. Even if I'm not better off financially after courses have been completed then I believe I'll be better off in general for just being educated again.

Costs a bit though.

My wise friend informs me that the pursuit of knowledge is the noblest quest a person can embark on. I think I'll enrol tomorrow.

Go for it mate. You have a brain. And please pm Toma. If I can get football stories and album reviews published then so can you.

I thought you got expelled after that unfortunate incident with the dinner lady.
