hey guys!

as you might have guessed i'm called mark ferbrache. i'm doing a degree in writing next year, so i thought this would be a good place to brush up my poetry skills. over the past two years i've mainly been focussing on writing for performance (songs, scripts, spoken prose) and have become a little rusty.

hope you guys like my stuff, or if you don't, how can i make it better?

Hi Mark, and welcome! :)

I haven't been here long myself, but I've found them to be a friendly bunch of people. I hope you'll enjoy being here.

sure can do! it looks like a really interesting course i'm doing, it covers poetry, writing for performance, fiction, non-fiction, journalism and live writing and new approaches and applications to/for the whole "writing spectrum"

i'm going to try and do what i did this year for my btec and post my notes on a blog, only this year's aren't very useful to you guys because it's mostly about the history of theatre, acting and vocal technique. i'm going to make it a private blog, so when it's set up i'll let you guys know so i can let you see it
