I just handed in my second short story for the creative writing class! It was entitled, The Snake Woman. You can find it on my website The Thought Hole. I’m very eager to find out what my group thinks of it. One kid, Aaron, said that the intro was very Poe. That was exactly what I was going for! Can’t wait to find out what they think of it on Thursday.
(They both thought it was amazing and I got a B+ on it).
I can’t believe the fun is almost done. Having the experience of going to a creative writing class made me never want to go back to that dry, strict high school. When I look back, I really didn’t accomplish much this summer. I still have to do psychology homework and review the English books. I wonder how long it takes before you begin to notice change in yourself. Probably when you are confronted with day to day events and act differently. At least I did a lot of what I wanted to. Writing, writing, writing. And I’ve learned that it’s incredibly hard, but worth it when you get down that final draft.
