Focus served its purpose for, like, six days, but that’s only half of the equation. I’m a bundle of stress. I haven’t been applying the other half – being relaxed.
Isn’t that a Zen thing? Relaxed focus?

I took it in to my music coach and she showed me how to pick the sheet music apart so I could make sense of it. I sang it before Xmas in my previous class, but I didn’t dream I would be able to play the piano part.
Thanks for the idea funniculee! http://www.43things.com/person/Knicke25
Now I must… practice… this… week….
Themes
3 days ago
I’m going to use the rest of my writing course to build towards the novel. So far I’ve had a short story (88%) and a screenplay adaptation (84%) marked, but now I can start afresh. I have themes in mind to explore, but no characters yet. As the weeks pass and I do the exercises/tutorials these will emerge. The final piece of work is 4000 words on 22 May, and I am committing to those words being the opening chapter of a novel. Not a screenplay, not radio/stage play, but a novel. There. I’ve said it.
