This is the end of an era for me. I started this course in 2001 and I am finishing my final unit in 2007. I had wanted to do a writing course for 15 years and 22 years later I have done it. In the process I have had two more children so life has been full and enlightening. It has been an escape really from the responsibilities of being a parent and a creative outlet that I would otherwise had not made time for. Just before starting this final unit Poetry II, I found myself writing poetry again. I have had a few poems published now and due to this semester I have submitted 17 poems to 5 publications. It is a motivator and I will miss many aspects of my studies. The social intercourse, the creative stimulation and feedback from my fellow students. I thank you all for all your input during workshopping. It is the most invaluable part of subjects even though it can get laborious. I have enjoyed hearing other students creative works and believe that some of you will do great things in the writing world. Again, thanks for the memories.
Cheers
