PWE short course and reminder
Just a reminder that this Wednesday is our next Rotunda event: Cate Kennedy in conversation with Hannie Rayson. (Information is a few blog posts further down.)
Also our next short course on offer is for those of you who are interested in writing a novel and taking up the NaNoWriMo (novel in a month) challenge. For our students, there is likely to be an inhouse (free) NaNoWriMo group, led by Sherryl and me (mainly me), so keep your eyes on the bulletin boards.
In the meantime, here's the PR about the short course from Bruno:
Would you believe me if I told you....
Write a novel in a Month short course
Teacher: Margaret McCarthy
Dates: Saturday 23 October for 6 weeks
Day & Time: Information and sign-up session before first class 9.30am (free)
Saturday mornings 10.00 – 12.30pm
Cost: $240
Venue: Footscray Nicholson Campus VU, VenU Restaurant
The class is very close to public transport at Footscray and Seddon, and although the restaurant won't be running, we will have coffee and tea. If you have any trouble finding the class on the day, call the teacher on 0400 316 431.
Texts/materials The book "No Plot No Problem" will be available for sale ($25). Bring writing materials – a large note book and pens. If you have a laptop, bring it along.
Novel in a Month is inspired by NaNoWriMo, an international writing competition to write 50,000 words (a novel draft) in a month. Participants with any level of writing experience, including first-time writers, can take part. This short course is for anyone who wants to have a go. Go to www.nanowrimo.org
Why do this class? You will write and finish the first draft of a novel!
Many things prevent people from writing. Novel in July offers a way around lack of experience, writer’s block and perfectionism. As long as you meet your word count, you can’t fail. Novel in July keeps you writing—not re-drafting, stopping or editing.
Can’t I just take the challenge at home? Yes, you can. But writing with a class greatly improves your chances of meeting the total: about 12% of those working alone complete the challenge whereas for those in a class up to 80% succeed!
What if I’ve started a novel already? Although our July class allows you to continue with an existing writing project or begin something fresh, our November class encourages new work. However, it’s best to talk to the teacher to discuss what you’d like to do – that’s what we’re here for!.
What do you have to do? Come to class for discussion, support and writing strategies; then write your quota every day. By 30 November, you will have completed your novel, be ready to debrief and celebrate.
About the teacher
Margaret McCarthy is a published poet and writer teaching in Melbourne’s west. Her poetry collection Night Crossing is being published in November 2010, and her manuscript “Entitlement” was short-listed for the Harper Collins Varuna Awards for Manuscript Development 2006. She holds a MA in Creative Writing from Melbourne University. This is her third Novel in a Month challenge.

Would you believe me if I told you....
...that you could write 50 thousand words in a month
...that you’ve been secretly (deliciously) holding this ambition to write your novel
...that you dare not even acknowledge it to yourself.
Go on...let the ambition unfurl.

Williamstown Literary Festival this weekend
Hi, everyone,
Hope you're all geared up and ready for the Williamstown Literary Festival this weekend. Last year I went to lots of great panels and really enjoyed myself and caught up with lots of students -- present and past. As always, I'll be attending the Ada Cambridge Award, to see which of the great stories we listed has been announced as the winner. It's always fantastic to see who entered and to match faces with stories.
In the meantime, I just have to sit down and work out exactly which sessions to book -- I've already highlighted a lot, but of course there's some overlap in the sessions I want to go to, so it may be a matter of negotiating with a friend to swap notes!
For our on-campus students, there are copies of the program on the table outside our office, and on the noticeboard. Three of our teachers are involved this year: Sherryl Clark will be interviewing Tasma Walton as one of our Rotunda events on Saturday (5.30--6.30 in the supper room), Lucia Nardo is presenting a workshop on unblocking creativity on Sunday (11.30 am in the carpark marquee), and Chris Beck is "On the Couch" with Jeff Sparrow and Steve Grimwade on Sunday (3.30--4.30 in the ballroom).
Hope to see you all there!

Poetry Bus
The Poetry Bus was another Rotunda event that proved popular last year. Here's what Bruno says about this year's event:
Our poets (Kristin Henry, Tom Petsinis, Lisa Gorton (if available)) take you on a mystery ride in a red double-decker bus to gorgeous, serene city places. All you have to do is lay out your picnic rug, pour your wine and smear dips on your crusty bread and the poets will read to you and lullaby you in the mild autumnal air.
And further information about the event.

Plenty happening in PWE
Welcome back to all our existing students, and a big welcome to all of our new students. All the staff at PWE hope you'll have a productive, exciting and challenging year studying here with us.
Whew! Is it only Week 2? Classes are under way, and already my head is spinning with all the different things that are happening, especially in the office. Our online classes are beginning this week, or in some cases (Picture Books) began last week. Bruno's got Rotunda up and rolling. Students are settling in to their new classes. News is coming in of current and past student successes: Tarryn Reid, Fiona Browning and Remo Pitisano are the new editors of SEED magazine and are calling for contributions; Matthew Naqvi has been appointed editor of Offset. Well done, everyone. It's really exciting for us to see you all doing so well.
In the meantime, six members of our Novel 2 class have just volunteered to be part of this year's Ada Cambridge Prize (for a short biographical or autobiographical piece of information), which is part of the Williamstown Literary Festival. Past students who have done this will tell them what a rich and rewarding experience this will be. (And if you'd like to enter either the Ada Cambridge or the Seagull Poetry Prize, we have entry forms in the office.)
All I can say is that I'm excited to be here as part of such a dynamic course!
