If Failure is not an Option, Does non-completion count?

Hello my faithful followers (if there is actually anyone reading this). After almost two weeks, I reluctantly had to withdraw from the online course I had been taking from Coursera. I quite enjoyed working with five internationally dispersed peers on “Writing Your First Novel”. There just wasn’t enough time. Juggle assignments. Complete work critiques. Work full-time. It turned out to be too much for me. Luckily, the course was actually a free one and had no marked assignments. “No Tests?”, you may ask. And you would be correct! The curriculum was twenty six weeks of totally peer evaluated assignments prefaced with video “lectures” by a professor from Michigan State University.

I heartily thanked my friends in the Support group and bid Coursera a fond farewell. Now I am concentrating on my family, my work and keeping safe and healthy. Multi-tasking life is apparently not my forte. Who knew? So it’s back to what I know best – one foot in front of the other.

You will continue to see more current posts as I broaden my horizons with a new reading regimen. Weaning myself from streaming videos as mindless entertainment will be the first step in self-rediscovery. Hopefully the creative juices will flow once more and I will “feel” more like writing and less like escaping!
