Another decision to make:
I write books for children and I'm qualified to work with children too. If I'm ever well enough to return to work I want to specialise in childhood psychology. I've done an OpenLearn course in child psychology and loved it so the first course I'm hoping to do if I'm awarded ESA in November is a child psychology one with the Open University.
I finished editing manuscript for an open submission window for a small publisher that I'm feeling pretty positive about. I want to work on the synopsis for the manuscript at some point, just to make sure that sparkes too.
I want to do
something with today, I just can't decide what that something should be. I'll maybe polish the synopsis while I'm waiting for any replies to this, which just leaves the courses that I want to do, which are:
Diploma in Mental Health Studies
Diploma in Educational Psychology
I want to do them both and they'll take me a week or ten days of constant studying every day to finish each of them and get awarded the diploma, but which do I do first?
Do I do the mental health one so that I can learn about what's going on inside my own head and hopefully find a better way to support all of you too (I won't be a medical bod, just a more knowledgeable fellow sufferer) or do I immerse myself back into the psychology one to prepare me for the OU course or do I just spend the day with my head stuck in one of the childhood psychology Kindle books that I bought with the Amazon voucher that the hubby got me for our anniversary?
Any thoughts or opinions will be great 'cos I honestly can't decide between all the choices!
- Shut up and relax
- Do the mental health course
- Do the educational psychology course
- Read the Kindle books
- Get into your author headspace ready for the submission window
- Edit another manuscript
Thank you for your help with the decision - I really appreciate it! I want to do them all at some point soon, I just don't know which order to do it in is all lol
