Jane Wenham Jones
Over a period of years, I’ve had letters and articles published in a variety of publications and feel the time has come to change my craft somewhat and begin to write novels and short stories. I feel I need to develop my skills to reflect this new direction, but am not sure how to go about this. I can’t afford a creative writing course and don’t want to do a degree in my early fifties. Sadly, my experience of writing groups is that they often become dominated by inflated egos with the rest of group sidelined.
My husband has written a number of westerns, published under the Black Horse Western label, without doing a course and says it’s not necessary, but I feel I need the structure of something to give me the final push to get going. Any suggestions?
