Writing

So...

I have not done much with drawing since class ended besides a few quick sketches during my creative writing class. That class is what this post is going to be about.

I wrote a piece of flash fiction and it was well received to say the least. I left the class with a very big head about my ability as a writer. Now I am scared because I have a second piece due and tomorrow and I fear that it will pale in comparison to what I have written in the past. I mean the whole class was on the edge of their seats all asking questions and waiting for me to answer them.

My reaction was positive in the moment but it is times like that that I realize I have no interest in fame. it is overwhelming, of course I understand that I am not famous or even close. It was only a class of about 20 people but their full attention was on me and it was nerve wracking because I now feel an obligation to them.

I even got a fist bump from a girl on her way out to the bathroom. It is strange, I am glad that I am being perceived as a good writer especially since I have not written a short story since high school (almost 15yrs ago). It is just strange I had someone else from my group read it because I was so nervous to do it myself.

This moment does inspire me to return to the novel I wrote during NANOWRIMO a few years back to freshen it up and potentially get it published. That is some thing that I have been wanting to do for years. become a published author and make a living off of my writing. I think that I might post me pieces here from class as I have with art, and hopefully go back to making art when my sister and her children are not around.

anyways... I am rambling on but it was a really good day.
