I’m back in Sydney and loving the buzz of the Centre after being away for the past couple of weeks. I love that the life of a writer can be so portable. As long as you have a laptop (and internet is handy too), you can work from anywhere. Similarly, with our online courses, you can learn from anywhere. I’m constantly amazed by the success of our online students. Recently we welcomed our very first student from Latvia in the Baltic region of Europe – we really mean it when we say you can do our Online Creative Writing course from wherever you are!
Unleash your creativity – online
If you’re interested in writing fiction – whether it’s short stories or a novel – then this is the course for you. Through our interactive virtual classroom you’ll learn all the elements of a good story and get valuable feedback on your work. You’ll also learn how to:
- kick-start the creative writing process
- tap into your imagination
- draw from everyday experiences and memories
- examine different types of creative writing
- give structure to your writing
- use characters and dialogue
Here’s what recent participant, Carolyn Panuccio, had to say about the course:
‘I loved all of it! Seriously, I did. It was the biggest buzz posting my first piece of writing to be analysed by Cathie and my classmates. I have never shown my writing to anyone before so it was a really exciting moment. Cathie was fantastic with her comments and my classmates were wonderful too, with many of them taking the time to really read and think about each other’s work and make their comments, which I thought was great.
It was fantastic to do the course online. I have three kids 5 under and it made it possible for me to be able to do this course. I just could not have physically attended a class at this point in my life. Plus I love that I could put the headphones on, head out to the back room for my quiet time and really listen to what I was being taught. I have never done anything like this before so it was all new and a lot to absorb, and being able to do it in my own environment really allowed me to get the most out of it all as I could do it at my own pace.’

TIP: Historic or historical?
A recent ad on TV for the upcoming Delhi Commonwealth Games grabbed my attention. A well-known Australian swimmer was spruiking the ‘historical city’ of Delhi. Hang on… shouldn’t that be historic?
Well, it actually depends on what you are trying to say. ‘Historic’ is an adjective that means something important or influential in history. ‘Historical’ is also an adjective and refers to anything dealing with history or past events.
So you might refer to the “historic city of Hiroshima”, due to its significance as the first city in history destroyed by a nuclear weapon in 1945.
But you might refer to the “historical town of Bath in England”, which is well known for its old buildings and listing as a World Heritage Site in 1987.
Write inspiring kids’ books
If you’ve completed our Creative Writing Stage 1 course and now want to explore the world of children’s book publishing, then join us on our next Writing Books for Children and Young Adults. Even if you have no writing experience, this course can show you how to write engaging stories for kids.
Whether you want to write a book for your own children or grandchildren, or have dreams of becoming a published children’s author, we’ll show you how to write the best book you can for kids. The course will cover:
Here’s what some recent participants had to say about the course:
‘The people and the activities - it was a great experience all round and extremely helpful. I have heaps of information now to help me in my schooling work. The class has given me an excellent sense of direction, it’s fantastic.’

Book Giveaway – The Wildkin’s Curse by Kate Forsyth
More exciting news this week from one of our presenters… Kate Forsyth, who teaches Creative Writing Stage 1, has just released her latest book! Kate is the author of over 20 books for adults and children, and she has won numerous Aurealis Awards and Children’s Book Council Awards. The Wildkin’s Curse is the follow up to The Starthorn Tree, a series for younger readers.
Zedrin is a starkin lord and heir to the Castle of Estellianna. Merry is a hearthkin boy, the son of the rebel leader. Liliana is a wildkin girl, with uncanny magical powers. They must journey on a secret mission to rescue a wildkin princess from her imprisonment in a crystal tower.
Princess Rozalina has the power to enchant with words – she can conjure up a plague of rats r wish the dead out of their graves. When she casts a curse, it has such power it will change her world forever.
Set in a world of monsters and magical creatures, valiant heroes and wicked villains, The Wildkin’s Curse is a tale of high adventure and true love.
If you’d like to learn more about Kate and her writing career, you can listen to our podcast interview with her on our website.
We have one copy of The Wildkin’s Curse to give away. Just tell us what your favourite fantasy book is and why. Send your answers to courses [at] spindriftmedia [dot] com [dot] au by Friday 21 May 2010 – and don’t forget to include your postal address.
Thanks to everyone who entered our The Little Stranger book giveaway (Get Published, 29 April 2010). We received many spooky entries, but the ones that freaked us out the most were from Craig New and Catherine Pelosi, who received a runner’s up prize from our spooky book collection.
NEW Travel Writing course
We're so thrilled to announce a new four-week course – Travel Writing: Get Paid for Your Adventures. Many of you have already completed the two-hour introductory seminar in travel writing and have told us that you want more!
Well, we've heard you and we're pleased to announce that this course will be held Wednesday evenings starting Wednesday 4 August 2010. This course will focus solely on travel articles. It's ideal if you are serious about travelling and writing about your experiences.
We're also very excited that Geoff Bartlett is fitting this course into his busy schedule. Geoff spends much of the second half of the year traipsing around the South Pacific and filing travel stories so we're very happy to secure this course for you.

TIP: Emigrate or immigrate?
Here’s a handy hint from Grammar Girl to help you remember the difference between emigrate and immigrate (two words we often see being used incorrectly):
To emigrate is to leave your country to reside elsewhere, and to immigrate is to enter and reside in a new country.
You can remember the difference by thinking that immigrants come in, and both "immigrant" and "in" start with the letter "i."
WEBPICK: 1000 Awesome Things
It seems the latest trend in publishing is blogs to books. In the last few years many lucky bloggers have enjoyed not just phenomenal online success, but also publishing success with the release of their blog books.
The key to blog to book success seems to lie in good writing and an interesting theme. There are many examples but one that caught my eye this week is 1000 Awesome Things. It’s full of funny and nostalgic observations on the good things in life, like dropping your phone and discovering it still works, finding money you didn’t know you’d lost, your pillow.
But surely, for a writer, nothing beats getting a book deal on the back of your blog!

Grammar and Punctuation - What you need to know
If you want to transform your writing you need to know the fundamental rules of grammar and punctuation. Unfortunately, many of us didn’t have the opportunity to learn these rules at school. Whether you’ve never learnt the essentials or you just want a refresher, our one-day Grammar and Punctuation seminar will give you the knowledge you need.
You'll come away with:
Here’s what some recent participants had to say about the seminar:
‘I took this course as if I was going to undertake a general health check-up. I was glad to know that though I did not have major problems but, after taking this course I feel much healthier! Deb's course has refined and sharpened my grammar and punctuation. Now, I can be more polished in my writing and when I read good books/articles I can learn and pick the good and correct styles from them cause I now understand better the role/function of grammar/punctuation.’
- Fourteena Pusaka Dewi Halim
‘What we learnt, we could then put into practice exercises. I found the exercises very helpful. Also the editing exercise of someone else's work, that was fun and made you really think and apply what you had learnt so far throughout the course. I feel much more confident using the correct punctuation already.’
