Questions to ponder part 12
FrickingKaos:
I took creative writing in high school but i was really not
Good at presenting my work to other people. I wrote for myself as a hobby but other than that the class work got to be challenging because it was homework. It
wasn't fun for me in a school setting.

I've come to realize that my mind is a complete and utter mess, lol. I'll have an idea, my mind with think up all these things to twist the idea, make the plot grow, and as I begin to type it out, it's like word vomit really, it all comes out at once, and when I'm done I'm left staring like "Well shit... where was I going with this again?" LOL. My mind is notorious of thinking of things I didn't think before and wanting to add them.
My mind is currently struggling with putting together a plot for an idea that's brewing in my head, lol. It's like my mind is going "Okay, so this, this, this, and this is gonna happen... but how, why, when, to whom..." and then when I get that all figured out, my mind will think of the logics like "well, do we reach a conclusion, how do we get there, where do we go from here..." yadda yadda yadda.
And as horrible as this may sound, I can't motivate myself to write about poor Howard. :(

Do you write original fiction or any other kind of writing (besides fanfic) for fun, and if so, do you share it with people in real life?

I took a creative writing class in high school and it really wasn't for me. We had to take two English courses in order to graduate and it was recommended to me that for my second English I take a technical writing class. So that's what I did and that's what my job is now lol.
I have written some original fiction but I don't really share it. The funny thing is that I have friends who are very active in the writing community in this city and I've gone to their readings and stuff. I have thought about taking another creative writing class or trying to join one of their groups but it's impossible to find information about it. There's also a massive local bookstore here that has a self-publishing machine which I have thought about using. When you do that they also offer a public book launch/reading at the store to get the book out there and sell it in their local section. It's pretty cool actually. I would need a lot more confidence (and a professional editor, obvs) to be able to do that lol.
RokofAges75:
^ That is cool about the bookstore's self-publishing thing, but the idea of doing a book launch/reading with something I'd written would terrify me too!
I love the quote in your signature, Steph! That's really what I wanted to comment on. LOL
