Default Went to my writing class.

Yesterday I braved my first class since university. I went to my creative writing class and sat through the full 1hr 30mins. The guy who ran it even picked on me at the end. He said I'd been very quiet (I wonder why?!) and asked if I had anything to add. I started talking for a good minute.

I don't know if I'll manage the full 10 weeks, but it's a start.

Well done Ren.
I once went to a creative writing group but left after the first session because someone I knew was a member. I also felt everyone else was far more talented than me!
It's something I would like to have another go at sometime though. Creative writing is a great way of self-expression and escapism.
Hope you manage to keep attending.

Well done Ren!

I joined a creative writing group recently. I'm finding it harder than I expected, but I'm determined to carry on with it.

I didn't go back, which wasn't really my own choice. My "therapist" arranged my meetings with her to be an hour before I went to my writing class. My meetings with my therapist were so awful that I was in no state to go to my class afterwards. I missed a week and was too SA to go back after that! I'm quite pissed off as I've now been forced to dump my awful therapist. Still, on the plus side I didn't stop my writing class because of SA, which is something I'm pleased with. Better luck next year!

Is this the same delightful therapist who invited herself over to your house? How did that go?

Pass her laxative-flavoured biscuits with her tea?

Yes, the same one. She never made it to my house. I got chimpy to phone her and tell her we no longer wished to see her. She seemed to panic at the thought of us seeing my shrink (her boss) and practically begged chimpy to see her again. He said no and thank god. Nothing worse than having to discuss with your therapist why she's crap, least of all when confrontation is a phobia you have!
