It is finished.

I’ve finally finished my story for class. First draft. I won’t have time to really go through and edit and create a real second draft, but it’ll do. I have time to edit things I’ve been dying to fix and bypassed so I could just finish the darn thing. I need a title. I’m thinking about Making Life Suck Less. I’ll probably hate it tomorrow. I’m also on the fence about the ending, but I’m happy that I finally have an ending to hate.

:)

I’d like to be the kind of (published) writer whose work gets quoted by people on Tumblr.

Drafts is saving you from bad, tiny poems

So in honor of pretty good writing, I’d like to share with you all that I finally started a story to share with the class on Sunday and I worked on it some more today. I read over it and actually still like it! What do you know? Is there a full moon tonight or some other phenomenon?  So I’m enjoying this process. Other accomplishments: one load of laundry done! Time to go to the library and stop procrastinating on this other assignment. I wish all homework were as fun as it is for creative writing.

Be productive and blessed!

NaNoWriMo? To write or not to write

With excitement and a little nervousness, I proclaimed in August that I would participate in NaNoWriMo. 

And then, school started.

The excitement is slowly turning to fear and leaving me undecided. I know I will need to make up my mind before I know it. 

I’m leaning towards doing it. As much work as I’ll have to do, I’d think it be fun.

To write a novel would be an awfully big adventure.

Summer Reading List
  • Looking for Alaska - John Green (I’ve started it already; seen some of the book on here and had to check it out)
  • The Kid - Sapphire 
  • The Hunger Games Series - Suzanne Collins
  • Short stories from Lost in the City by Edward P. Jones and Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
  • Beautiful. And Ugly Too by M.K. Asante

And if I get a job, I will get this book:

  • Chalk Outlines of Snow Angels by Jasmine Mans (Yes, that Jasmine Mans of the Strivers Row!)

I’ve missed recreational reading terribly. 

Check out my new story!

It is entitled: On Common Ground.

I just set up the page for it. Second post coming soon.
