During the period where I’d given up the idea of an MA, I started Ray Bradbury’s writing ‘hygiene’ again. He recommended reading an essay, a short story, and a poem every night for 1,000 nights, and writing a short story every week. I did this for nearly 300 days a couple of years ago, and learned an enormous amount from that exercise, but life got in the way. I’ve started again now though and will keep going.

Ray didn’t like the idea of university writing courses, but the world has changed since he began writing. Would he have done one if he’d been starting today?

Don’t you just LOVE Ray Bradbury!!
