Hi Austin,
Thanks for your message.
Yes, I came away with a few completed short stories.
And two chapters towards a novel, about 16 000 words. Some of the latter short stories began to link into the idea of a longer piece, i.e. novel, introducing the main character etc, and I wrote the two chapters as my final assessment piece. The response I received has encouraged me to continue with the project. The fact that it was historical was a big change for me that I would not have attempted had it not been for the course. As I mentioned, I am continuing work on the novel, so the course was a great springboard for this.
Best wishes,
Nigel
