Writing schools

 Hi..Has anyone noticed the massive growth of Writing schools on the internet..Maybe because I am a published author and I publicise it the algorythm sends lots of them to me..I read most of what is on offer and I have come to the conclusion that the majority are trying to sell format writing..I have no problem with helping would be authors in developing a writing style but I have always felt you should really tell your story straight from the mind and heart..If we all follow the same format and plot lines then we will all be reading the same stories with slightly different characters and locations..Thank heaven there were no Writing schools around when Will Shakespeare was around..If you have a good story then simply write it..it might be disjointed rubbish but so what..It is your story..you are telling the tale....the storyteller.

Now kill me ...Part two.

 The four marines seemed happy to carry out the order and took up attacking positions, knees bent ..knives held in front of them they began to circle the very calm instuctor.

In less time than it takes to read this part two all four marines were disarmed and were flat on the floor clutching wha appeared to be very painful parts of their anatomy.   The Instuctor walked to centre stage and addressed the now stunned and silent audience  'I need four more volunteers'   The hall was very quiet.

This brings me to the point where I give a little advice..If you are ever involved in a pub fight ..do not, under any circumstances, go for the short fella stting on his own at the far end of the bar...better to find the exit door and go home.
