Hiya, I'm starting the Start Writing Fiction course in Oct 2011 and was just wondering if anyone else was. Be good to 'meet' my new 'classmates'. I'm looking forward to the course - my first OU experience!

I did the course a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it - am sure you will too

Hi there
Like you, I'm doing A174 in October and, like you, it's my first foray into OU.
I'm doing it to find out if I'm good enough to take a "real" creative writing course.
I'm really looking forward to it.

Hi. I'm also doing this course. Know a number of people who have done OU courses but first time I've stepped into the pool myself so to speak. Looking forward to it.

A big pack of information arrived this morning.
I'm really getting excited now, clearing the decks.

Hello to you all. I am also doing A174 in October 2011 and am looking forward to getting to know my fellow students as well as the course. I did a degree with the OU a while back and in recent years have been dipping into varous short courses that took my fancy. I'm looking forward to this one and the conversations that will go with it.

Hi Vince,
What was your degree subject?
Avril
Vince Gledhill - Mon, 10/10/2011 - 20:31
Hi Avril, I did Psychology and thoroughly enjoyed it. Made some good friends, met a lot of challenges and found it life changing.

Psychology, eh? Will you be able to assess our mental processes by the way we write?
Ooer!
Vince Gledhill - Tue, 18/10/2011 - 15:11
I wouldn't dare Avril. But it does help me to figure out some of my mental processes, and that is more than enough to be going on with.

Haha, That's OK then, because I'm told I have a black sense of humour!
I'm looking forward to sharing this course.

I'm also starting this course in Oct 2011. Pretty nervous really, especially as I feel totally overwhelmed with A Levels already as it is and I'm scared I'm taking on too much but I want to do creative writing at university so this will be a good start I guess!

Hi Grace, welcome to the current A174 crew. Having done a couple of OU short courses I know that it will be full on for 10 weeks. But that has also taught me a lot about my strengths and weaknesses in those areas, which has its own rewards.
For a start, it will either sharpen your appetite for creative writing at university or tell you something you need to know now about studying the subject at a higher level. You can't lose.
I did the course a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it - am sure you will too
