Hello writer pals, and do hope you’ve got that back-to-school feeling in a good way, currently.

This month’s course update for Complete Freelance Writing Course is at lesson 52, with a full version of this video.

It includes reference to a Resilient Writers course, which I thought was practical, sensible and good value for money. Rhonda Douglas who runs it, also does a podcast, so you could always dip your ear and your toe in there.

Otherwise, it’s research a go-go here, as I plan three writing projects I’ve wanted to do for ages: one psychological, one historical and one purely for fun. The psychology one will include course, podcast and book and link art with science, exploring the changes and benefits that creative writing brings us.

So curiosity and passion are lodestars here for writing this autumn, to generate lots of energy and direction. Whatever stars guide you at the moment, may they be lined up and clearly visible for you, in the firmament.
