Principessa turns to you and says:
It's OK Mummy, I'm not James Whale anymore!
Yeah, can't get any more surreal. Although, I wonder what she was dreaming about last night when I asked her to move over (yes, she had invaded my bed. Again.) and she sleepily cried out:
I can't! And I can't fly!
Complete head scratcher!
I think I will have to think about getting this essay written. I haven't looked at it over the weekend. I know I need to, and that I just need to prod it to get started, but an enormous sense of apathy resides in my brain. I think my synapses must be on holiday because my brain isn't firing up at all. Ho hum! Or maybe it's just that I want A215 to start. Impatience...

James Whale,not heard that name in a while.Surreal.Having said that I dreamt I was attempting to climb Everest last night but had to fight a foreign force waiting for me and rather strangely I was naked!! Would have thought that would have given me a winning hand! Oh and the reason I was struggling was not the climb it was because I could not work the rhyme structure in "Mowing". Hmmm
Pick up the pen and write!!! Total unadulterated crap but just start,I find it seems to kick start my brain and the thoughts come.Even if you have to completely re-jig just write.It will happen.
Am going to sort my exams today and get them posted then I am done.Roll on A215,I am really terrified of this course.A103 was all about structure/analysis and I seem ok-ish but this is imagination and prose.That's were you will shine...
Hmmm, that is a strange dream!
I will get to writing, just not today. Giving myself another day just to get the Yahoo games addiction out of my system!
As for A215, you've nothing to worry about. Think about it. You paint. Now, you have you use your imagination to produce your interpretation of whatever it is you are painting. Writing is just the same, except you use words instead of pictures, simply because the words become the pictures. And writing, just like painting, can be learned.
I like that,great analogy.In fact I will try and put my heads in the same place as when I paint.BTW,I know are signed up and have you course resources available but,I came across ablog of someone who has done A215.They have all the assignments and what they wrote etc.Seems it gives a good idea of what to expect.Technologically incompetent I don't have the link but if you Google A215 restless dreaming you should find it.
Wow! I didn't realise I had motivational speaking talents! And thanks for the heads up on the blog, will look it up.
Grrr, I was going to show you how to put links in, but the comment thread will not accept it. Poo!

You can tell i am bored!As you know i can't add a link but it is interseting.i read on "restless dreaming" that one tma is about getting a piece ready for publication.This seems a good buy.
they are available on amazon for £12.75ish,posted from the UK.Make sure you go for the 2009 edition as the publishing info will change year by year.
Yep, I might just invest. I did buy the Writer's and Artist's Yearbook last year, so I suppose I could do with a little bit of updating!
And for a link, you need to surround the link address, e.g http://www.writersandartists.co.uk/ with
<
a
space
href="
address
">
then you add in the name of the link or site, then
<
/
a
>
but all in the same line. I have separated them out onto separate lines as it's the only way I can get the comment thread to take it.
(BTW, when I said space in the above bit, I meant it so that part of the code would look
a href
I don't think I explained it very well.)
