Ahhh…. I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to be so active recently, and probably for the rest of the semester. I’ll definitely try to show up for word wars/guild wars, though!
What I read (highlights):
Six of Crows
The Gurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
The Montmaray Journals (series)
All the Light We Cannot See
The Little Prince
Sense and Sensibility
What I Wrote:
Before the Sunrise (short story)
Having Loved and Lost (poem)
A bunch of other pieces for my Advanced Writing class
An ongoing series of fictional letters with my best friend
Half (?) of the first act draft of my current fantasy-ish WIP
What I learned:
(echoing lots of people already) My first draft doesn’t have to be perfect.
Creative Writing isn’t going to be foremost in my life/career, and that’s okay. (I might become an editor, though…)
Goals for 2019:
Write one or two short pieces a month.
Keep going on my WIP.
And continue the letters story with my friend? Hopefully, even though we don’t have a plan for it haha.
I’m really happy to finally be able to reply to this forum @eden-anderson because life has been pretty intense, but I do remember first seeing it and thinking, hey, you should probably come up with some goals, and have some aim in your writing life. So thank you!
