Taking drastic steps to get writing | Starting a Masters degree |

Here are the three questions, they really made me think about my drive to write.
What are the origins of your impulse to write?
What frustrates you about writing?
What are your long term ambitions, and how would your writing need to grow/change/develop for this?
(much tea was drank trying to get concise answers, that were personal to me.)
And if you'd like to try the prompt and see how it worked for me, here's the blog post.

Well done on taking the trip down to a Master's Degree. I started at 0ver 50 and completed it in 2019 with ST Andrews Uni. Next I started a PHD, first year completed, but on hold now.
So what am I saying... good luck and do whats best for you. I'm sure you can get what you want. Well done. Andy

Thanks, I’m considering my PhD or perhaps an MFA. How did you find the first year of the PhD, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m really enjoying being back in a classroom - being surrounded by other writers alone has been just the kickstart I needed. Jo

@@JoanneMallory13 the first year was a bit of a grind for me as we covered academic research methods etc that we did in the masters. That I found tedious but I got through that. The second year was more interesting as we started design our research and data gathering, then reviewing the data and drawing some conclusions.
I did all that but couldn’t completely the year as my respondents, police, were slow to agree with the research methods etc. therefore I couldn’t write the last submission for year two and had to put it on hold or it would have been a fail.
Anyway, it’s good to learn 😊
Good luck 🤞

Wow! I’m hoping to do a master’s in a few years. I hope you love it.

I can see either a podcast of the future stories or a book. Good for youx

I’m doing it part time, alongside work. And so far I’m juggling everything okay. And I’m loving it, it’s really changing my writing. And I will get round to making a follow up vlog soon 🙈
