Figured out in about half an hour this morning what I'm going to do for my next four sessions of tuition, which is just awesome. Somehow I think my tutee gets bored when I start talking about technical stuff, but I don't really care! So for the next four lessons we'll do a mixture of theory and practical, although I haven't figured out how I'm going to make the latter happen yet. Make him write out paragraphs on the spot? I guess. Now I'm reading some work he did for Lord Of The Flies, and just glancing through the Word document as it was printing, I cringed when I saw a paragraph that was totally off in stylistic terms as a character diary entry. Will read through all 10 pages of it after I go offline, and spend some time critiquing at the start of this Saturday's lesson. Have started reading another novel, and this time it's Bite, written by two people under the pseudonym C.J. Tosh. Delicious stuff. A blurb on the cover calls it Text And The City, which is pushing it a little, but still it makes for a good, easy read.
