digital badge awarded

In July, I began my first Western University Creative Writing course. I wish I kept the same excitement for the course the whole way through but I was experiencing some very dark days and I fell into a habit of postponing my work until the last day, even last hours before the due date. I was mad at myself when I would fall apart and fuel my mood swings. I am very grateful for the timing of the course and my peers comments & feedback on my work and interest in my blog. Every time I received a comment/feedback from a peer or from the professor, I would copy and paste them into a folder; I plan to print the feedback on cardstock and place them above my workstation. I think visual reminders that I am capable to create or write anytime. That my voice matters.

​I earned my digital badge from Western University, for my first completed course in their Creative Writing program. I finished my course with 92% - I lost my dream and direction in 1997/98 because of abuse/neglect and c-ptsd; I am FINALLY putting myself into the programs I want to become who I have always dreamed of.

Starting to believe that I am the writer.
