I signed up for an online writing course
forking out a fair amount of money.
On the morning it was due to start,
I clicked on the link, excited,
feeling like a kid on the first day of term.
I joined the video chat,
with the tutor taking the course.
I was raring to go, eager to get started,
to learn, to write, to develop,
to hone the craft of writing.
We were told to spend an hour
writing in our notepads.
After that came a twenty minute break
before another hour of writing on our own,
and finally ending with ten minutes
meditating, collecting our thoughts.
The only thought I was left with
was how the course was
a complete waste of money.
