You are lucky there were only twenty little enthusiasts. I've seen poor sods lumbered with three times that, with little teaching experience, so good on you! If you get the time, which you'll obviously be short of during this,I'd love you to read a post of mine (Wednesday, November 18th, 2009)over at Textilosophy.You'll get a laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-61486381007837077062010-04-18T14:04:58.937+02:002010-04-18T14:04:58.937+02:00Sounds like great fun.

I was slightly emotional by the end of it and wonder just who will be teaching who in six weeks' time....<br /><br />That's a nice way of looking at it Pandora. Either that or they'll discover that a fart joke or three will cause their so-called 'novelist' to unravel and descend to their level of maturity.<br /><br />Thanks PlasMan - sometimes I feel like this blog is a novel in progress or at the very least a way to keep the writing fingers 'fit'.<br /><br />Baino I'm actually finding that time is slipping away from me. I've got a few more paid jobs lined up and the time between farewelling Sapph at 9.00am and meeting her at the gate at 3.30 is getting shorter and shorter.<br /><br />I'll try Jack, I'll try. I have an exercise planned for them that'll be chaotic, (hopefully) fun and a quick way to write a new character. At least I'm hoping so.Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-69962313517787441562010-04-18T03:31:19.708+02:002010-04-18T03:31:19.708+02:00I think it is wonderful that you stuck with it eve...I think it is wonderful that you stuck with it even though it is waaay more commitment than you envisaged. If you turn just one of these little urchins into a writer you will have done the world a great service. Remember that teaching is a two way street and take note of things that YOU might learn from the experience.
