I'm taking a writing course online right now in the hopes of improving my work and actually spending the time getting feedback on some of my old stuff.
It's great. The best part about it is that every assignment is a maximum of 500 words. So I am learning a LOT about making my writing tighter, more concise, and still maintaining the elements of the story.
This is one more step in the right direction I hope. And the thing that makes it all worth it is that the course itself is free! :-)
On another note: I hope to have a more regularly scheduled blog posting now that I have decided this is going to be in essence my personal journal. Not that I am going to be spilling ALL my secrets. But I will be using it as your window into my writing process - and my life as it were. :-)
So I will be seeing you all around.
I have always been a writer - since I learned my ABCs, I have been penning my thoughts and ideas on paper. I have filled up many, many, many journals and notebooks with stories, prayers, everyday ordinaries, and phenomenal events in my life. I have dreamed for years of becoming a published author and now is the first time in my life that I am actively pursuing that goal!
Quotable Quotes
“Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.”
