Two Wheels On My Wagon... But I'm Still Rolling Along

I thought I would leave a ripple in the pond, otherwise you might think me gone to meet my maker..................! plop !

No art anymore, my eyesight won't permit it. I'm fine though, it's just the bits that carry me around are a bit dodgy. As I approach my 88th year, I'm still working  playing 7 days a week: writing and studying.

Since my 84th birthday things have gone ballistic: I was elected to the Society for Architectural Illustrators, elected a postgraduate member of the Royal Historical Society, passed an MA in Naval History, and an MSc in Forensic Psychology. 

I was going to do a PhD in Naval History and had offers from Portsmouth and Suffolk universities. But I have decided I don't need the travel time spent between, uni, museums, archive etc. Instead, I'm just starting an MA in Creative Writing (CW) - I did a couple of CW courses as an undergrad, so I understand what is involved.

I have so many projects on file that never got written up, therefore the CW will allow me to get it all written up with modern influences. It will get me out of academic writing, and back into stuff suitable for mainstream audiences. Should be fun.

Bye for now
