Hi, I'm new here. This is my first post.
So....I'm approaching a rather big birthday (Can't say which one, but it begins with 4!!) and am having a midlife crisis over all the things l haven't achieved (mostly....write a book)
I used love writing and had a few twist in the tale type short stories published in women's magazines before my kids were born but nothing since.
I desperately want to get back in the habit of writing....l don't really think it matters too much what l write....I just need to write something!!! I am a terrible procrastinator!! When the kids were younger, l would tell myself it'll be easier once they're older, but now l work longer hours, have 3 messy teenagers that want constant chauffeuring and a houseful of rescue animals, laundry, clutter and paperwork!!
So thinking a course might be good....as it would give me someone to answer to. Has anyone tried the Curtis brown creative online "staring your novel" course. Or does anyone know of any good general creative writing courses (online) to get me thinking again?
Any advice/ soothing words/ encouragement welcome 😊
