Christmas is coming, we are all scurrying around to buy presents for our loved ones and to do other things that will make our 'holiday' and theirs as good as it can be. So I'm not expecting to receive much writing from anyone until the New Year when maybe the fruits of our sleep and dreams will bring forth some literary gems.
So Playground remains static except for this brief entry.
It would be nice, it would be rewarding and feel that our online ezine is worthwhile if some students were to read what's here and write comments - good and critical - on what's been published so far. It is hardly a Playground when there's no-one else to play, rather more like a glass cage, indeed a padded glasshouse.
Have your say on the message board www.writinglife.org.uk/students/view.php - the username and password are on the foot of your assignments. And for heaven's sake think of sending something to the editor (me) to go on the next edition in January. I've had only one submission so far. The idea is to experiment, test the water. It doesn't have to be a perfect piece, honest. And I really feel a failure when people won’t even send me nonsense!
Meanwhile Happy Christmas to all and may 2006 be everything you want it to be.
Bernie
