Writing
Classes
Classes
are more formal than writing groups. There's more emphasis on the
technicalities of writing, such as grammar, layout, character and
plot. Choose a class that's tailored to the kind of writing you
want to perfect. Learn the specifics of writing for the stage, or
comedy sketches, or technical manuals. You'll progress more quickly
by specialising.
If
there are no suitable classes in your area you could try online
classes on the Internet. There is an excellent range of online courses
offered by the Gotham Writers' Workshop, via their website WritingClasses.com.

Writing
away from home?
Ever
wish you could continue writing when you're away from your
home or office computer?
One
solution is to copy your files onto your laptop. But things
can get messy when you transfer frequently from one computer
to another: are you sure you're working on the most recent
version?
You
can get around this by using a remote access program. This
lets you control your main computer from anywhere in the
world. As long as your office or home PC has a broadband
connection and is left switched on you can dial into it
from a laptop or Internet cafe in another town or even another
country. I do it all the time: I hook up to my main desktop
computer in England from Internet cafes in New York and
I can access all my files, operate all my software and access
my e-mail. The software I use to do this is called GoToMyPC
They have a free trial which shows how amazing the concept
is.
So
now when you're on holiday or on a business trip there's
one less excuse for failing to hit your daily word target.
