Starting a new course

My OU course on writing fiction has officially started today although the first week (week 0) seems to be mostly about introducing ourselves, getting used to posting on the forums and getting to grips with what the course is going to be about. Now that it’s here, I’m feeling a little nervous about finally taking the step forward and focusing on improving my writing skills, particularly when thinking about the two assignments ahead! One bonus of being a student again means being able to have an NUS card and get student discounts – cheaper shopping trips are always a good thing!
