Comments by Exciting Writing
Foundation Course students
“I enjoyed the course very much. It opened doors inside
my head that I didn’t know were there.”
“I’ve found it terrifying, exhilarating and compulsive
— in that order.”
“By the end of the second session I was totally hooked.
[Course tutor Paddy Gormley was] extremely organised and methodical,
yet with a relaxed approach which enabled us to develop ideas
and gain confidence in our writing as the weeks progressed.”
“I found that, once met, the challenges were worthwhile
and I learned from others.”
"What I really liked was the way we read our work to each
other and initially when [Paddy] read our work. It made it sound
fantastic and I think encouraged us to continue.”
“I found that the course made me think much more about
what exactly I want to say and how to say it, instead of just
scribbling down whatever comes to mind, as I normally do.”
"[I achieved] lift off: several pieces of light verse (not
poetry, I am told!) and two serious pieces; development of several
linked ideas; lots of others. It was great fun being part of an
interactive group, which was friendly and tremendously supportive.
I would recommend the course to anyone who is serious about developing
their writing skills.”
