Maybe Someday I'll Learn (to Keep My Mouth Shut)

Sorry about yesterday's post. I wasn't feeling very well and I guess it sure showed in the post, didn't it?

After reading over all the material the website provides to aid in course completion, I'm feeling more optimistic about this course I'm enrolled in. There's a wealth of knowledge there, and it's a lot more than just a "creative writing 101"-type course. I've never been in a critique group before, and I think that's what I'm most looking forward to; I've read from published authors that many of them credit the leap from amateur to professional (from "writer" to "author") to writer's conferences or critique groups. I can't afford a writer's conference and doubt if I ever will, so a critique group is more up my alley.

To what do you attribute your success?

part of the joy of blogging is being able to be negative and rant when needed!

your class sounds good! i would love to spend time developing in the area of writing because I LOVE to write. I am not very good at creative writing, but have written a few short stories here and there.
