Hmm, the only problem is I'm at Seneca right now...

But suppose I did apply to UofT next september, would they look at my college marks/GPA? Or could I just lie to them and say I never went to college and hope for the best? Because my first semester at seneca was not that good >:(

George Brown also has a program, my girlfriend took it a few years back and said it was brilliant.

You might not have too much trouble getting into that UofT program either, since it's not a degree program, but rather a certificate.

You apply to it after two years of university study.

You'd get better responses if you posted more detail. What is your goal? Why do you need this education?
if you just want to write a book, take any courses you can without worrying about qualifying for a program...the book you write will speak for itself.
If you want to work for a newspaper or tv news, Ryerson has a journalism program that a friend of mine who works on Global News took.
