Start Writing Fiction at Open University
February 16th 2008 10:34
I do a lot of online research at work, and sometimes that leads to discovering cool writing links. The one I found the other day is too good to keep it to myself.
Open University offers a variety of learning material for free now, and there is a unit called
start writing fiction. Now I am a little past the start writing fiction stage, but I will give this class a go anyway.
In my experience, you can learn a lot from other people's mistakes, especially if you make the same mistakes yourself. For some reason, I find it much easier to find bad writing in my own texts when I found something similar in another writer's text first.
Secondly, this seems to be a good place to find other writers who really want to improve their writing skills. For me, talking about writing with like-minded people works like a charm for my creative output.
So, who else will give start writing fiction a try?
