Wisconsin Idea

During this reflective journal, I will be speaking about the work in which I posted on my York St John blog, focusing on the feedback that I received following my initial ideas and the way that I will develop my writing further in order to make it better. Within this, I shall speak about how the process develops from an idea and then further when somebody has read the work. Within the module, one of my favourite lectures and workshop was “Stage and Radio” that was taken by Linda…

Swearing is something I catch myself doing often, but it is something that I would like to change about myself because it is not an accepted behavior.
