My school has this book/magazine called The Sorin Oak Review that comes out once a semester and publishes students' creative works [photographs, poetry, short stories, etc.].
Last year I sent in three poems and three photos, but they only published my pictures. Which is good, but I really wanted my poetry published. [That would be really cool + It would be really good for future resumes.]
I've gotten a lot better at poetry in the past year so hopefully my poems will be good enough to be published this year.
I'm turning it in sometime this week or next week.
I'm debating whether or not to do pictures again. I really want to send in my photos from Photography 1 [REAL pictures that I developed myself], but I have to send it online and I don't have the chord do connect my scanner to my computer. Then again, I can use one of the scanners in the computer labs at school.
I still have good enough digital pictures to submit though. I'm just scared that they're going to pick my pictures over my poems.
Although I just found out that they look at all the work [which you don't put your name on] before looking at the submission forms [that do have your name on.]
So that's good.
I know it's not the biggest deal to have these things published in a school magazine [or whatever they call it], but it's close enough.
And one of the things I want to do in life is get my pictures/poetry published.
Pictures, I've done, though I'd like to do more.
But poetry would be a huge deal since I've decided that that's what I want to focus on when I'm out of college. At least until I gain the courage to write a novel. [Which may not be hard because I wrote a short story for my workshop piece in creative writing that I want to turn into a novel and easily could. The idea hit me the weekend before it was due and I wrote it in two days. I need it to be longer though.]
