In my previous posts I've written briefly about a creative writing course I was taking. Now that I've finished it, I believe its an appropriate time to review it. This course is offered by the Australian Writer's Centre: http://www.writerscentre.com.au/I took this course to inspire me to write more. I'm pleased to say I succeeded and more! :)
I debated between choosing stage 1 or stage 2, based on my writing experience. I probably could have taken stage 2, but I wanted to start at the beginning in case there was vital information I had missed. I'm glad I did this, as the information I received throughout the whole course was very insightful.
The information given helped:
- kick start your imagination,
- got you thinking about ideas,
- characters,
- plot,
- structure
- and finally there was module on the publishing industry.
FEEDBACK ON YOUR ASSIGNMENTS FROM PROFESSIONALS
This was by far the most valuable aspect of the course. The tutor for the course would give feedback to the whole class and individually. The feedback was my favourite part of the course. I only wish the tutor had the time to review the revised versions.
Worst Aspect? The forty minute audios. I found it a little tiring to lesson to someone talk to me for forty minutes, but then again I have the option to pause and play them whenever I wanted!
Best Aspect? The change of the assignments and feedback received.
Value for money? Yes.
Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes, depending on their level as a writer
