At Long Last

If the title of this blog decieved you, I'm sorry and would like to correct that. I have not gotten an acceptance letter from an agent...yet...but yet another rejection. I was merely commenting on how I haven't posted a blog in a long time. I know, how could I keep my audience waiting? One word: School. I started school last week and already I have a lot of reading to do.

I'm surprised by how much I like the reading in my Fiction Writing class. We have a large book dedicated to short stories and I actually read more than what was assigned. Crazy, I know. But it was fun anyways. We have to write, I think, three short stories and I have yet to know what I'm going to do for it. My Professor said that we can't write about anything that we haven't written in class because that's how she knows that it isn't plagiarized. Dammit. I had a great one that I wanted to write about...now all I have to do is figure out how to write it out in an assignment so it won't be considered false. But I've been waiting to take this class since FRESHMAN year and I'm now a JUNIOR. That seems unfair, doesn't it?

Well, that's one class. I also have Creative Nonfiction writing. I have to 40 hours of community service by the end of the semester and the prof (same one as in my fiction writing) said that I can work at the library--since I work there anyways--as long as I don't get pay. I thought that was rather convenient since I am not all that skilled at any other thing besides books and organization.

I also have two other classes, though those aren't really worth mentioning. SOOOO I'll skip those.

For all those that have the privileged of reading my book and giving back feedback, I would like to inform you that I have just finished chapter one and it's seven pages long. HAHAHA!!! and it's over 3 thousand words already. Not a lot, I know. but I'm working when I can. hopefully, I can get about half done by summer then finish it before school starts in August. Since we're not planning on going anywhere for summer, I'll have more time to write. Hopefully.
