Save Creative Writing in TAFE

Okay, David, here's a question for you. Under the new structure, can I enrol for a subject that is Novel Writing, consists entirely of students wanting to learn novel writing, with a teacher who is only teaching novel writing? For a whole year? And preferably for a second year to do a more advanced Novel subject?

It's no good to me if people in the class are working on different projects. Much of the value in novel writing classes is in workshopping each others' chapters and learning from others who are doing the same thing as you. It's absolutely useless if everyone is working on different things.

And yes, I do understand that it's 'teachers in the classroom' time. Now in my fourth year of working on my first novel, I am under no delusions that one can be whipped up in 210 hours of writing time. I wish! It's a long, slow process. Ultimately rewarding, but you just can't rush it.
