Ponder of the moment - an MA based around novel writing or a radio play....
Thoughts on a life unfolding, rather than the one that has been waiting for permission. Going back into education later in life was fantastic; liberating, broadening horizons and opening doors inside myself that had been kept shut for too long. But the MA is over and now I face the task of turning it into something more than an academic jolly. I have to finish the book I started, and get it published.

Tough but exhilarating week last week; radio workshop, assignments deadlines crashing in and husband away with four kids to tend to in between gasps for air. Top moment - playing a sexy snake in the finished radio play and maybe raising a ripple of surprise from the younger students. So good to just be me (not that I ever saw myself as a sexy snake) rather than the mother of the above mentioned children - fantastic as they are. Such a cliche, but I have got lost over the years and feel as if I have begun to find myself again since beginning all this MA malarkey. Also had a line in a comedy sketch show that the very talented guys on the course have been putting together - have no aspirations to launch myself on the road to Edinburgh but shows how stepping out of my comfort zone can be a laugh.
