As you might or might not know I should be finishing my MA degree in creative writing this spring. I postponed doing the actual thesis (which will be a novella, probably) until this summer, simply because there were so many interesting classes this semester I'd rather be spending my time on.
Well...
I've been thinking.
I'm never good at working in the summer. Seriously, I always have these big plans about all the things I am going to do and then the weather is so nice, the sun keeps shining and being inside is just... not on. So even if I know I have to write this thing I am afraid I'll botch it up. Also? I don't want to finish school and have to get a job and face real life. *whines*
So...
I've been looking at what's available, seeing if there's anything I could add that might stretch this on for another year. Not just escapism but because I don't want to just forget these two years happened and go back to working at a library, you know? I want something new. And writing doesn't exactly pay the big bucks. Or any bucks, actually.
Right now I'm looking at Practical Editing and Publishing Studies. I know I'm good at helping people with their texts, editing and suggesting what might be better. I've been told so by my classmates whose texts I've worked with, they've even asked me outside class to look at their stuff. And my teacher mentioned it to me especially that I gave very good reviews and feedback. Plus it could lead to a job in the publishing industry which sounds more interesting and challenging than going back to being a librarian.
I have to decide before April 15th. Hubby doesn't object so no problem there. (Well he hasn't on Facebook anyway. I haven't really seen him for a week or so but he butted in on a conversation I was having with my BFF about it, telling me to go ahead. This is my life now, talking about life changing things with my hubby on FB. *facepalm*)
I'm just still not sure if I really WANT to do this or if it's just that I DON'T WANT to find a job already. *rolls eyes*
