Les Writing blog, with tips, advice, and my own writing... 200K in NaNoWriMo! Yay!

So it's not quite every day yet...

February 21st 2008 15:29
However I have been writing! I've been writing quite a lot lately, actually, and the other day I sent out two of my poems to small no-pay markets. I need to get my name out there somehow, even if it's just 'I was published by Unheard of Magazine 1', ya know?

I've been very hard-working, studying, looking at things, reading, writing, all sorts of things lately. My school attendance is still lacking and that is simply because I don't care. I don't care about my education. Really.

I look forward to the day I can drop out because I hate school. I don't want it nor do I feel a need for it. My calling-my only calling-is in the arts. If I can't be in the arts, I can only be nothing.


But I will make it in the arts. I can feel it. I'm happy. For once, the long, dark tunnel of depression is missing in action (sort of). And I am DETERMINED to become a writer, and I am DETERMINED that this will work.

So. I'm back. For good this time, I hope.

I'm not sure how old you are, and as a mother I'd hate to steer you in the wrong direction. However if you are not thriving in school, perhaps look at an internship with a newspaper, or a creative writing course through the local college. You can push forward even and get a journalism degree, with often nothing more than a GED to start. Sometimes being passionate about what you are learning makes all the difference in the world and you sound very passionate about your writing. Learn all you can, read and believe you can make it. It can be a lonely and long road but one worth taking if you enjoy writing so much.

I wish you all the best
