A Student Again!

Today, the much awaited box arrived from ICL ... I'm taking the book course! Been meaning to do this for a while, but there never seemed to be a good time. But I'm making a committment. I'm going to trust the process and start fresh.

I have two novels in different stages of progress. The historical YA is 3/4 done and the other is just a messy first draft. My hope is that I will finish this new book that's been rattling in my head for quite some time.

Although I'm good at taking time to study by myself, nothing beats having a teacher hold your hand, and push you when you need it. I find I stretch and grow so much more in a classroom than when I work alone.

So ... wish me luck! I've a lot to juggle. And I'm excited and terrified all at once.

Are you taking the book writing course, Vijaya? A teacher and a student at the same time? :o)

Thanks, ladies! Yup, it's the book course. I need help!

Super, Vijaya! I hope you'll share how it goes. (BTW, I teach the book course! Just had to throw that in.:))
