Week 1
by Em
(Mindarie, WA)
To spoil myself my choice is simple – frothed milk steeped in exotic spices from the orient.
When young I thought myself very lucky when we were bought hot drinks out. I still feel the excitement of sitting in windows while the world bustled by, of deciding, then ordering. Nothing I received from our own kitchen, ever evoked the deep emotion I felt drinking out.
This emotion is still with me, though much of my life’s moved on. So I’ve progressed from mugs of triple-whipped hot choc, to expensively frothed coffee, to my new choice – frothy, spiced milk delight. Little luxuries I now brew in my own kitchen, much to the detriment of my once svelte figure.
So keep your choc chip cookies or your desserts designed to delight the senses, I’ll opt for my drink every time.

What people are saying about our online courses ...
'I'm delighted and proud of my first attempt. Thank you for a wonderful course. I have been enriched.' AK, Zimbabwe
‘You were my inspiration in actually doing something with my writing. I would like to thank you for kicking me in the butt and insisting I do something!’ Bec, Australia
‘Elizabeth, this was a terrific, confidence building, well-honed little course. I would thoroughly recommend it.’ Margot, Australia
‘Writing is a labour of love when we expose ourselves by baring our soul. I believe Elizabeth Bezant has the skill to combine respect for our feelings, with pragmatic strategies to help us publish our precious efforts.’ John, Australia
‘Elizabeth, this was a great course and though it was short it has boosted my confidence in my writing. Thank you!’ Rachael, Australia
‘A very rewarding challenge – not too difficult, not too easy. Every word was welcome and useful. I edit other people’s writing in a really similar manner, but it’s amazing how difficult it is to see those same errors in your own work.’ Margot, Australia
'Great course Elizabeth! I would not have taken the time to seriously try this genre but for your course. I made the last few changes you suggested and have sent the essay in to ............. After reviewing their requirements I see that my piece fits in every way possible.' SM,Canada
The critiquing to me was the whole point of the course. While the general comments and writing tips were vital as a backbone to the course, the personal interaction and direction was the whole point of it all.’ Sue, Australia
‘I thoroughly enjoyed course, and it being online made it a breeze.’ Rowe, Australia

‘A publisher asked me to send her some of my writing this year. But I never would have without this course.’ Raewyn, Australia
‘I’ve just sent off the last of the assignments for critiquing and before I go any further I must say a very big thank you to you for the joy you have given me! Not only have I learnt so much from you, but I have also so appreciated all the encouragement and your wise counsel in assisting me to do something that I wouldn’t have believed could have been nearly possible. I will miss you.’ Yvonne, Australia
'Thanks to Elizabeth I can now source markets for personal stories, competently make my writing market-ready and sell it with confidence. Your editing skills are an asset to the writing community. I recommend this course to any writer who wants to break into this market.' JOH, Australia
'I thought the way the market information was presented was not only informative but importantly for me it was written in a friendly manner. It took away some of the awesome fear I have of confronting the real world of publishing.' KM, Australia
