It has been a while, hasn't it? I know I keep promising to be better at this, but if you follow this blog at all, you'll realize that the road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that jazz. I'm going to try and post more youtube videos at least so then maybe I can have a few SSS fans before I die.
Anyways, my first semester of college is officially over and I survived swimmingly. Did well in all my writing classes and that's all that really matters. Next semester I'm going to be taking an English composition course, an intro to professional writing course, a German fairy tales course and a poetry writing course. I'm really excited even if it's going to be a full schedule.
The project that I'm currently working on is a collection of short stories and poems. It won't be much, but I'm really making it for my mama. I haven't yet decided if I want to make it for public sale or not. However, I completed NaNoWriMo this year and my prize is 6 published copies of it, sooooo maybe I'll just use them as youtube contest things that people can win. The possibilities are endless!
Not much else has been going on. I'm not working on anything major because nothing really gets to me the way that SSS did. I don't feel the urgent need to get any one story down. I have a few I'm kicking around of course -- still thinking about that zombie novel! -- and I have my first novel that still needs to be rewritten. I'm also thinking of writing a fiction book about loveless relationships called "Not-Love and the Like." But I need to build a story around that. So, we'll see.
I just got done talking to a writing class at my old high school. I don't like being back, not at all. It's a feeling of not-belonging, a feeling that I have really moved on and everyone else has too. Not even nostalgia or anything. It's weird, but it was nice to talk about writing with the students.
Here's two pictures of me from when I went to Grace Prep all those months ago to talk there:
