Well, handed in my first assignment a week or so ago and just received my feedback from my tutor. Feeling pretty pleased, as overall, it was pretty positive, with a particular note about being good at showing and not telling. There was a few helpful pointers about how to improve my poetry as well, so I shall endeavour to dredraft them and repost as soon as possible. NB, I have removed 4 of my poems from the blog as I submitted them into a poetry competition which is still running, so will repost as soon as it closes.
Anyway, back to the task in hand.....Have just begun work on Part 2 of my coursework, and been given a preliminary deadline as the 27th October; so a lot to get through before then! EEk! Have made a start on my notes for exercises one and two and these are my initial feelings:
Really looking forward to this chapter of work, as I love observing people, so this part should be fun and exciting. The first two exercises that I have attempted revolve around writing about a person in a photo, one known to me, one unknown. I have only written notes in my notebook so far, no redrafting yet. Finding this surprisingly hard even to find a good photo to work from! Most are posed or of more than one person- I wanted to find photographs where the subject is unaware that a camera is on them- as if it is just a snapshot of a moment in time. However decided not to procrastinate too much, so have done both exercises twice, and can already see some nice images....off to type them up now.
