Sorry Celtic
My mistake - I thought the online writing courses, you mentioned, were free.
I have no intention of paying for a course of any type unless I get a nationally recognised certification on the end of it. I understand that this course helped you and that's great, but I'm a firm believer of the mantra "money flows to the author."
I've been burnt a couple of times and now refuse to fork out my hard earned unless I can prove it's bonefide. That would require me to meet and greet ordinarily and that's hard to do with most online stuff.
No offence meant Robyn - once bitten, twice shy.
