Writing
I don’t and never have professed to being a good writer and nor am I a particularly avid reader; that is not to say I don’t enjoy either of them however, I do, it’s just that I have never really found the time to devote to becoming a better writer. The good news is that all of this looks set to change. On my degree course at the University of Cumbria we have just started a module called ‘Adventure Travel Writing’ which has already proven to be very interesting and has led me to realise how much of an art writing, or at least good writing, can be.
Each week we are given writing exercises to carry out in order to get us thinking about different literary techniques and effects. I plan to publish these exercises every week on my blog so as to share my writing and to give you (and me) a chance to track my progression from the naive novice that I am now to the world renowned, best-selling author that I am inevitably going to become (see what I mean about naive!).
Any comments would be greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoy my writing.
