So I decided to enroll back into college and finsih up getting my degree. I'm counting on it keeping me busy as well as giving me the disciple I need in order to complete some goals I once set for myself 10 yrs ago. No more easy way for me or going for the fast $$$$$. This should be good for me
Some of you may not know that I have some significant experience as a journalist. I have worked for 2 different Magazines as well as owed one on my own. Needless to say they all failed after a few yrs. But that has to do more so with the fact I was after the fast $$$ and just used the business as a tool for the WRONG reasons. There was a time when we were successful at a few points, but we all lacked the direction or dedication to see it thru.
Anyways, so back to school. I had to write my 1st essay tonight and man did I have some trouble. Mind you, the magazine I wrote for was def. more "rough around the edges" in the content we published and wrote about. So it was def raw and uncut. So I found myself jumping back into that way of writing while writing this essay. Something that should have taken in 40 mins or less turned into about 90 worth of back and forth and re editing and re structuring. I've written 2 short stories in class thus far and the teacher loved them and was certainly surprised by my work. Her advice though "clean it up". We'll see what happens. I will get an "A" though, just wait
I think that it is pretty cool that you have magazine experience! I worked for two campus magazines when I was in college. It is pretty cool that you actually owned one. Writing an essay and writing an article are two different things. I have been writing fiction since I was a child and I honestly adore writing, but when it comes to writing papers and essays... not so much. Best wishes on you paper. I am sure that you will get an A. :o)
