12/12/07

This class has really helped me by letting me get a better understanding on what I want to write about in the furture. Out of all of the things that we did in this class the two things I enjoyed were the personal essays and memoirs. I didn't really connect or enjoy anything else we did. I had a difficult time trying to understand some of the things we had to write about like the journalism essays and the nature essays. I originally took this class because I knew already that I did not enjoy non-fiction literature but wanted to try angain anyway and give it another chance. I am glad that I did find out that I enjoyed writing personal essays and memoirs and also to find out what I don't enjoy by actually trying it. This class also made me realise more that I want to continue to write my fiction writing and poetry because I'm missing it so much and is what I mainly want to write.
I first came to school to become a veternarian. Well one thing led to another and found out that was not what I wanted to do with my life. While I still want to work with animals I also missed my writing, reading, and art very much. After a summer vacation of writing short stories to pass the time I realised that was one thing I wanted to do with my life. Ideas started to race through my head and I am very excited with all of the stories I plan on writing. I also want to record my family history and stories about family members as a way to never be forgotten. Now I am an English/Writing major and struggling to become a writer with the business of every day life.
What I want to write about are fictional stories of a combination of mythological creatures, fantacy, beliefs, and the modern day life. I want to write about myself now and of my family and loved one's because I think that some things should be known and remembered. I also want to write poetry since I do enjoy it and can make almost anything into a poem. I also want to write about dogs because I want to become a dog trainer and breeder as well and think I will do well on writing guides. I want to write about many things and want to write almost all of the time. I just wish I could have that time now since school takes most of it up and don't get a chance to write about what I really want to write.
I want to write a mixture of short stories and series that can last a few hundred pages with each book. I want to write stories that are very imaginative because I think that is something that people lack these days amd think it is a very important quality to have.
I'm taking classes now on learning what I need to do in order to publish my works. This is one reason I wanted to take this class but I'm having a difficult time. I'm also being slowed down a bit from people asking me what I want to do with my life and when I say I want to be a writer and a dog trainer they tell me to start looking for a real job like being a teacher which is one of the last things I would ever want to do. It really drags a person down when they are told that their dreams are not good enough and to do something you don't want to do. However, I'm not going to have a career that I know I will be miserable with for the rest of my life. Somehow I'll make it through and do what I want to do. Just have to hope it all works out in the end.
