So after that last somewhat cathartic post that most people (I hope) checked out... I've been thinking a lot of what I'm gonna do. As most of you know I've always been into writing. SOme of you are actually fans of mine as well and have read my, mostly crappy, stories and attempts at writing. So after thinking it over a bit and asking some rather qualified and knowledgable folks for some opinions on the subject... I decided that I'm gonna go for it. I mean writing is the only thing that I feel even remotely passionate about. It's something I've always enjoyed doing, I guess the whole aspect of being able to create something out of nothing always appealed to me. So in regards to smart people talkin and informin I decided I'm going to go to Columbia College because my english teacher (who also went to the school AND was a product of their writing program)told me they have a "wonderful" writing program and that their journalism department is very good too and the location and instructors of the school will be useful since you can make some connections. So I told my brother about it and he brought up the idea of after going to school getting into teaching and I wasn't too enthused about it but my bro was and we got into a fight about it but it blew over quickly cuz he ended up helping figure out what classes to take to finish up my curriculum requirements for Morton. If I bust my ass and take a full course load I'll be ready for Columbia by Fall 06, it not then Spring 07.. but I'm excited about this. I'm excited about finally having some sense of what I want to do. I just hope I can keep up and this whole money situation is still hanging over my head constantly giving me more grey hairs and its just not good. So if anyone has any extra money lying around I'd be very willing to accept it! No worries about being a charity case here! I'm a broke ass!
So after a very rought stint of writer's bloc I'm nearing completion of my novella (a short novel jackasses, not a melodramatic television production with Chantal y Sergio Goyri)... I've been able to write at least a paragraph a day. The good thing is I still have the vision and know how everything will play out towards the end of "Spiral" (my novella's title, in case y'all forgot) and I'm getting close. I'm excited about that too. OH!!! FUCK OLD NAVY!!!!! I gots a new job!!! :) I'm gonna be working Customer SErvice for Verizon Wireless and I should start towards the end of the week and hopefully that will go well, wish me luck on everything folks!
I finally have a sense of purpose.... I'm excited ^_^
