Ideas are flowing

I have a question:

How would I go about teaching adults? I am currently doing a degree and have been told that I can teach courses when I graduate but I need more qualifications/courses/experience under my belt which is fine but where do I start? I don’t want to do a teaching degree, I’m not interested in teaching children, my interest lies in the realms of adult learning. Hearing so many people say that they are writers but never follow through and that there is a lot of demand for teachers of the courses available through city councils and such but no takers is disheartening. I want to incorporate all that enthusiasm into something that’s worth doing. I would rather feel that my work with people benefits them than trying all my life to write and never be acknowledged. I know in not J K Rowling or Jane Austin. I like to feel I’m doing something and if it’s in demand, why not try it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

On a similar note, I had a thought last night while lying in bed looking up at the ceiling; I want to write a book. Not a fiction book or anything but a sort of ‘How to’ book. Specifically for the creative writer of any age, it would be a basics guide to getting the creative juices flowing. I’m a very visual person and others may be the same, my stating point would be taken from the exercise I did for my presentation class last year using photographs as stimulants (see Photographs for inspiration on the home page). I think I may try to build something up over the summer.

While I’ve been sitting here, I have glanced out the window about four times. Once it was misty and dull, then it was raining, then it was snowing and now I can see sun squeezing its way through the clouds. Talk about your indecisiveness.
