Hi, My name is Susan Caldwell and I live in Montréal, Québec, Canada. I've lived here since 1976, taught psychology in a college here and retired 19 years ago. I would like to write a textbook for a course on world analysis that I would like to teach - online obviously. The only book I've written was a dissertation for my doctorate - but that was really more 'note and quote', rather than creative writing. So I'm definitely interested in non-fiction writing as the basis for my project but also recognise that creative fiction writing can make anything one reads more interesting to the reader. Also, I'm interested in learning how to frame the various parts of my course based on how one structures a novel. My favourite thing to do is to learn about almost anything - but especially geography and the cultural history of different places. This includes watching videos about the places and what it is like to travel there. I also like to find mystery books set in the country/town that I'm interested in as one learns how the people think about their lives and what is going on, set within their story about the city or country.
