So, I've finally taken the first step in "putting myself out there." I'm really hoping that I can change the name of this blog later. My brain is foggy and not able to think of many unique things this early. Last night I attended a great lecture about agenting. I had the opportunity to listen to three great agents and their views on many things. I'll probably post more about this later, when I feel like getting up and grabbing the notebook I had with me at the time.
Today I have a creative writing class at 12:00. We're worshopping one of my short stories along with one from another classmate. I'm looking forward to what everyone has to say. I think my main character is very strong, but I'm really not sure if I like the way I wrote the piece. And as always, my title is a work in progress. My mother is really the one who gave me the idea for the plot. And the title. Maybe she should write her own version--she'd probably do it more justice. I started out wanting to write an action story, because that's not a usual thing for me and it seemed the thing to do. I don't know how to classify what I ended up with. It's a bit dark, like most of my other work. But, it ends happily. I just can't seem to write light or fluffy things. Maybe someday.
Hi, Kristin. Welcome to blogging. I found you via Joy's Balance blog. I've only been blogging since January, but I'm really enjoying it. Come check out my blog. I'm a writer, too.
ReplyDeleteI read, "Today we're worshiping one of my short stories..." I thought you were getting kind of cocky, but now I realize you meant work shopping. Makes sense now. Welcome to blogging! Reminds me of the good old days of Xanga.
