It had to happen. There was no way I was going to get through this experience without blubbing like a baby at least a couple of times. It started the other day and there will be more.
It's all going a bit wrong and I only have about a week to fix it. I think the major problem is it looks like I don't really know what Creative Non-fiction actually is. And when you're writing a Creative Non-fiction project that's a bit of a biggie. I need to be realistic here and prepare myself for the fact that failure is a distinct possibility. And before anyone reminds me I have to think positively, I'm trying but I'm also being realistic.
I will try my hardest not to fail - I can't think of anything worse. I got through four years at Glasgow Uni and came out with a 2:1 ( I keep reminding myself of this) but this, for me, has been a lot tougher.
I think my plan has to be,
1. Sort out the structure.
2. Re-write it;- I need to cut a lot out and replace it with a lot more description. I need to take the reader on a journey, and I need to lose a lot of the 'I'. While all the time watching out for bad punctuation and repetition.
Sorted.
Hello August - something tells me you're going to be a total bitch.
I think I'd better go and get on with it now - before I start blubbing again..
