So if I tidy up all my writing papers and poems and put them in folders and open a fresh exercise book and look at my thesis idea then come and blog it… does that count as writing? Maybe I could major in procrastination next year?
Does this count?

That TOTALLY counts 🙂 I have been reading Rachel King at “Sound of Butterflies” she has discovered the joy of giving herself the space to “not write”

Ooh, what thesis idea? I am intrigued.
I’m not sure if thesis is the right word for it but I’m thinking about “magical thinking” as a reoccurring theme for my book / MA application.
Even more intriguing. What field are you planning to do it in?
I’m going to finally apply to do the IIML MA for next year but I wont hold my breath, I don’t really expect to get in.

I think the really valuable thing it would give you is a year in which your writing was prioritised and a group of people to share it with, and inspire and encourage you.
