Creative writing course

[erastes]

Woo Hoo!

Just had a call from "Tom" who's the creative writing tutor for the Norfolk County Council Adult Education programme. (Seeing as how I can't afford Malcolm Bradbury's MA course for £4K) Anyway, he sounds GORGEOUS with the poshest voice you've ever heard - like Anthony Andrews in Brideshead - (which means he probably looks like a button-nosed tortoise.) We had a nice long chat and of course we got to the bit:

Tom: "And what do you write?"

Erastes: *dries up* "Um. Er. Well, it's kind of romance. Sorry. Historical Romance."

Tom: "Dont be sorry, any writing is good. "

Erastes: "Um. er" (oh the wordpower of the Erastes) "how can I put this? It's like Brokeback Mountain. In theme I mean. Sorry."

Tom: (stern) "One thing I will teach you is not to be sorry about writing. That's fascinating. I'd been meaning to put a link on the webpage about homoerotica."

Erastes: *In Love*

Anyway, it's too late to enrol for this term but I can join in January! *bounces*

Oh, the lovely Tom! His attitude is just what you need after that homophobic nutter on the writing group thing.

Yes, that icon sums up how I imagine he looks. It's too much to hope that he looks like some 50 year old floppy haired courdroy wearing hunk.

*is optimistic*
