Abstinenser?

Enden er nær.
I dag begyndte ”uge 10”. Sidste uge af Saxos online forfatterskole.
Jeg afleverede min sidste øvelse lidt over midnat, og selv om jeg formelt har rettet opgaver hele dagen, har jeg nu kigget ind en del gange, kommenteret andres tekster og tjekket reaktionerne på min egen.
På mandag er det så slut. Lærerne evaluerer tre udvalgte tekster for sidste gang, og overlader os til ensomhed og abstinenser. Sikken masse timer, vi pludselig vil få til overs.
Men alligevel … Hulk, snøft.

Withdrawal symptoms?
The end is near. Today “week 10” began.
The last week of my online writing course.
I sent in my final exercise shortly after midnight, and even though I have been correcting papers all day (officially), I have peeped in several times to comment on texts and check the reactions to my own.
On Monday it is all over. The teachers will evaluate three texts for the last time and leave us to loneliness and withdrawal symptoms. Suddenly we will all have plenty of time.
But nevertheless … sob, sob.

Gather ye rosebuds ...

Ah, but now you'll have more time for your collaborative novel :-)

BTW which online course was it you were doing?

Tim, I know. And more time for my job, my family, my blog, my friends etc.
It is a little bit sad, though.

It was a free, Danish course running over ten weeks. Saxo forfatterskole.

Fortunately, the course has been so popular (1600 participants the first week, c 500 still going strong) that Saxo has promised us a new course in the autumn. Five weeks + a short story competition.
