This class has been a great experience as a writer and a reader. I got to read a variety of stories from a huge range of genres and actually got a chance to have my opinions make an impact. Which to me is a huge deal.
Having people read my stories is kind of a new experience for me as I don't generally put my writing out there. So it was a big boost to hear people liked it at all. Did my stories have problems? Yes, and I was glad to get the criticism so I can improve. I now know I need to work on shorting my run-on sentences and let the reader infer rather than described everything to death.
I do plan on writing more , as it's something I've always done. Its something I enjoy so even without being published, I'm happy if I can get anyone to read my writing. I will send out a query letter but not quite yet. I don't feel like I have enough written to justify sending anything out. However I feel like e-publishing is the way I want to go, I don't care too much about making money off writing I just like doing it and if people want to read it that's fine with me.
I hope to post more stories soon. Maybe on here maybe somewhere else. I'll post it here when I know where.
It's been a fun ride.
I liked the story you chose to let us read, and I hope you continue writing your story
ReplyDeleteRyan,
ReplyDeleteYour story was great! You should continue to write. The best stories come from the people who have a passion for writing rather than a passion for money. E-books does sound like a great way to go for new writers. Let me know when you get published. I would love to read your finished story. Great job!
I am so glad I've had a chance to read your story but more importantly meet you. It's been great being in this class with you. I appreciated your feed back, and I hope you continue with your amazing story!

ReplyDeleteOkay so I don't play D&D anymore, but I did. Man it was fun, Nazi Monkey scientist will get a chuckle out of me from time to time. I did create a yuku board if you're interested in continuing to write and share your ideas and stories. Just make a username and post in the introduce yourself section and the magic can happen from there.
Its been nice having this class with you, I hope to talk to you again sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you continue writing and I really enjoyed your piece... You gave really helpful feedback that helped better our stories! Hope you have a great summer!
