Final Destination.... for now
Well here we are, and to be honest, I am happy for the fact that I reached the end of this semester, not because of my creative writing class. No, my reason for being happy with the end of this spring semester has more to do with the amount of stress that I am under and no way to really vent at the moment, at least nothing that is constructive.
So as my final blog of this class I have to answer a few questions concerning what I have experienced during my time in this class. So without further a due.
Will I keep blogging?
I probably will, but the thing is now I don't have a schedule to keep up with so there is going to be something I like to call a break. My days are going to be a bit lazy until I have to return to my engineering regime.
How was the workshopping process?
I found that it was actually helpful and fun. To be honest I never thought of working with a group of people on my writing, then again I never really considered being a writer for living before. The feedback was useful and folks were helpful, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing what people thought and what they thought was coming next. It also helped to me understand that some of the things that I took for granted as knowing was not so easily understood by others.
Will you send out a query letter for real?
Yes, but not right now. I need to finish my re-write and I got some editing to do.
Was it hard to find an agent/publisher for the query letter?
I thought it was going to be but to tell you the truth, the first agent I came across was the one that was the most interesting to me, despite the fact that I searched twelve different agents. Imagine that, my first choice was the one who fit me the best.
Would I self-publish Create Space?
Yes. I mean I like the idea of having an agent and what have you and so on and so forth, but if I did not fit into a genre, which is what I figure is really going to happen, then I would most certainly consider self-publishing.
Okay so that is it for now. I imagine that there are going to be questions in the future, because you know, I am such an awesome author and what have you. But for now, I am out.
Until that time and place, I will see you wandering the halls of our imaginations.

ReplyDeleteNot sure if that is him or not. I had fun with you too Brittany.
ReplyDeleteI 100% hear you on being glad about the end of the semester, due to stress. I have been really burnt out on school for a while, which has made doing any sort of academic work a dread. A break is going to be nice.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised you never considered being a writer. Your story was my favorite, I am looking forward to reading more of it.
Enjoyed having this class with you, hope to talk to you soon.
I love your meme, Wil!
