What you want is practice, practice, practice. It doesn’t matter what we write (at least this is my view) at our age, so long as we write continually as well as we can. I feel that every time I write a page either of prose or of verse, with real effort, even if it’s thrown into the fire the next minute, I am so much further on.

So what is everybody working on?

No need to be too specific…I know many of us don’t like to talk to much about the details. How about just the type of writing, and genre? I’d love to know what kinds of writing you guys are working on.

As for me, I am working on a post-apocalyptic thriller. At least I’m trying to. LOL With school, I haven’t been writing as much as I would like. I need to practice making a schedule and sticking to it. 

How about you guys?



The Beginning Writer: Saving Acorns: Being Prepared For What Comes

Hello, everyone! Time goes so fast doesn’t it? I’ve been meaning to get a post up here for weeks now but I just kept getting overwhelmed by schoolwork. That also means I haven’t been writing though. (Aside from class papers, that is.) But even though I am not writing, I still have ideas and inspired moments about the project I have going. And I always have ideas about future projects that I know I won’t be able to get to anytime soon.

The Beginning Writer: Link Round-up For 3/29/13

Hello! I’m back! In case you’re curious where I’ve been, I started college a couple of months ago. I’m going for an Associate of Arts degree and then I am going to go to University for a Bachelors in Creative Writing. I was able to go back with the help of Vocational Rehabilitation. They are paying for everything.
