Well, the Wee Man has just gone down after us having a really good fun night together. My mother came by to visit after finishing work tonight and we all had a great time. It's going to be hard giving him up again tomorrow morning but I've already decided to visit him on Saturday afternoon so that'll be something else to look forward to. I count my blessings to have such a wonderful son. I'm sure he's going to be a handful at 12/13 sure enough Naej but I look forward to that time where I can interact with him even more and share in his hobbies. It'll be fun knowing that I can almost see my childhood again through his eyes.

There's another silly comedy movie on tv tonight so I think I'm going to watch that. It's not on for another hour yet though so I'll probably get some writing done first. The next part of my assignment is to write about somewhere I've visited and try to make the reader want to go there because of my description. It seems quite easy but this first assignment is only to give the assessors an idea of where I am in my ability to write and what aspects I need to work on initially. Once I've completed the first assignment, they start sending me more challenging ones. If appropriate, with the more challenging assignments, they may even recommend that I start submitting my work to various sources to try and get published. I'm really looking forward to the challenge. The course starts off with non-fiction writing which isn't really my thing but I'm willing to give it a try to see how it pans out. Eventually, I would like to write a novel but I'm prepared to take it one step at a time on the advice of my assessors.
