I took a couple of writing classes this past term at a local college with the hope that some formal instruction would help me improve my writing. I have to say that it absolutely did! I’m really happy that I took the classes, though I’ve learned that taking two writing classes in the same term is a big mistake. Especially when I tried to do NaNoWriMo in the middle. I ended up with very little time to do any of my own projects and the NaNo kept me from putting as much time into assignments as I would have liked.
The other class was a general creative writing class where we did some poetry and memoir in addiition to short fiction. I initially balked at the idea of writing poetry, but I ended up with a few decent poems. I’m still waiting for my final grade on the story I turned in. It’s about a guy who brings his boyfriend home to meet his family and how he feels about sharing his past with the man who he hopes is going to be his future. I liked it a lot, and I’ll probably post it as a free read sometime soon. So stay tuned.
And my short story is going to be published on Wednesday… as soon as I get cover art and/or the sell link, I’ll be posting about that here!
