I hate this. I wouldn't mind but most people who do these classes are bad writers and I don't get the point of feedback off people whose work I don't respect, especially since it seems to not follow the sandwich model (praise, criticism, praise) but be either overly critical and unkind or overly empty and 'nice'.

However, I've taken these classes, explained I have social anxiety and autism (without explaining the rest lol) and asked if I could do this sort of thing one on one with the tutor.

She allowed me to. I took two of her courses this way and it was really valuable to get the feedback.

Feedback in general is important if you're a writer, it's just about how you get it.

I'm unhappy cos my opposite neighbours decided to get building work done and I suspect this noise will be going on all day.


Thanks. My sentiments exactly. If I take a writing class I've decided it should be online, for those reasons.
I've considered going back to Uni for another degree and it would involve a significant number of anonymous lecture classes rather than seminars. I wouldn't be up for seminars any more.

The trial started today for a man accused of murdering a local family.

They disappeared for about 2 years; their bodies were found by a hiker; shallow desert grave; so very,very sad. :cry:

That last thing is absolutely disgusting, sorry :(

Set my alarm for 8:20. Woke at 11:20.

Biology and my cat are to blame.

And some people keep on insisting they know what's best for me and saying 'artist isn't a job'. If I wanted/needed to make money they'd be right. But I'm fortunate in that I'm on disability benefit for people who can't work, and that my family are middle class/upper middle class and work very hard and there's a fund so that when they die I'll still be fairly comfortable.

I ask mum 'should I get a job so I'm not so dependent on you'. She says 'if the right thing comes along but it has to be the right thing, there's no point in having another breakdown and we don't need the money so just do it because you enjoy it'.

But apparently strangers on the internet think they know better, even when I tell them all this...

I've read about similar atrocities and such makes me feel less than human as well..

As if today couldn't get worse my granddad's going into hospital with the same thing my grandma died of.

Mum says it's just to make sure he doesn't get more ill but still it's scaring me.

My granddad is the best man in the world and a lovely human being all round. He's an old man but he dedicates most of his life to people in more extreme need than him. He is the bedrock of our family. We told him to cut it back on the volunteering and he refused to while there were people in the world who needed help.*

We better not lose him. The world better not lose him.

Mum says he won't die and that he isn't even that ill and they just caught it early but I'm scared.

A few years ago he was going to move house and I didn't want him to as that house symbolises him in my mind. Now I'm scared we'll actually lose him.

*In case anyone's wondering if he's just some good with people NT guy. I have no idea because he's too old for any of that but we were actually debating if he's aspie or not since he's very quiet, hardly says a word, a great engineer and mathematician, has his funny sayings and is brutally honest. Some people just do care that much about the world and their family that this becomes what they dedicate themselves to.

Last night I bought tickets for me & my girlfriend to see Dulce Sloan at the comedy club Friday & I got an email today from the club that Dulce canceled due to illness. I'll probably ask for a refund instead of a credit or to see the person in her place(I have those 3 options) but I'll have to talk to my girlfriend 1st & she's been taking a nap since before I noticed the email. Ducle was scheduled at the club a couple months ago but she canceled before I bought tickets.

I feel like i already died when i was 19 and i'm just a shell of what i was. If i don't have someone i love i feel like i'm a worthless person. I wish to dedicate myself to someone.

A series of unpleasant events, and then the news video of the teacher dragging an autistic student through the hallways triggered some old, yet still vivid memories -- nothing I can't deal with, but I'm still shaken and sad.

I'll feel better once I've had a good nap.
