Many moons ago, when I went to a life coach and was madly looking for a career anywhere outside of IT in a financial services company, the subject of writing came up. I was asked if there was anything that people tell me I should do. And for many, many years people have told me I should write.
So I saw an ad in the paper for The Writer’s Bureau, which is based in Manchester. They have a writing course, which I signed up for online. It’s a correspondence course. You are given a number of assignments, which are all things that you should be doing to develop yourself as a freelance writer.
When you complete an assignment you send it off to an assigned tutor in Manchester, and receive feedback.
The course is open-ended. You pay up front, but you can take forever to complete the assignments. I started before I went to Costa Rica. But, because it’s such a good guide to the freelance writing life, I’m going to go back to doing my assignments. It will give me a focus and a roadmap to follow.
