Taking this Creative Writing workshop has certainly opened up a new idea to me about my future. I got good feedback from the story I am writing. And I really enjoy writing it. So I was thinking maybe I’d continue with that next semester and try and get it published. Then it’d be okay to work full time or even part time at my current job. Jimmy says it takes about four or five years to get a book published. What event will be happening in about five years? The 15th anniversary of 9/11. That’d be perfect timing. It’d get some notice due to the timing. I’m really considering writing this story and maybe sending it to a publisher or however it works. I know it’s a sensitive topic to write about, but its just what Jimmy said. Nobody is writing about it. What if I’m the first and it’s a huge success? Or a complete failure…but that wouldn’t matter because I’d have a job. So it would be like I was wasting my time, not making any money at all. And besides, how many people can say they published a book? When I was writing I was enjoying it. I love writing the story. It was fun and challenging. I had a hard time describing the scene of the planes crashing so I was surprised when Jimmy said it was really good. It’d be awesome if it was published!
