Thanks for this. It’s really informative and has many parallels with the reflective commentaries and self analysis that need to be done in the painting courses.
Good to have some input from the creative writing team. Could this sort of advice be included in the course books? At the moment refective commentary is somewhat of a black art.
An extremely useful piece, Liz. I’ts so nice to hear something as clear and focused as this about a topic that many students find daunting.
As a beginning student I have found this extremely useful, as well as my tutor’s comments, as I found the passage in the handbook general and vague. It is good to know that we can reflect on the choice of a particular word, or how we achieved the target word length, as well as intangible things such as characterisation.
