Yesterday was the start of the creative writing class I signed up for. It's online which I like because we don't have to see each other face to face. It means that the critiques and such don't have to be so personal. And at the same time we have already developed out own little community.
We have retired people in their 60s down to teens in high school hoping to improve their writing for SATs and admission essays. How cool is that? Some are domestic goddesses (another's phrase) and some work full time. But the one thing we all have in common is we feel the inner need to write. Some want to be published, some are just exploring and some just want to improve.
In the first lesson, the teacher said "forget about being published for the time being." I guess that's a good point. She also said we need to separate the creative side from the critical side.
I am very jazzed about the class and feel like I am where I need to be. The inner need in me is somewhat relaxed now that I am on the right path.
Now I just hope the class would go faster. LOL
