Hey
everyone! I hope you're all doing well. Happy IWSG!!! January has been a crazy
month so I'm sorry I haven't been around much. My grandmother had a stroke two
days before I started at a new job and in less than a month, my brother will be
getting married! Lots and lots going on, which kind of brings me to this
month's IWSG topic: Time. I'm finding that when I get home from work, I'm tired
and mostly just want to crash and call it a night. A lady told me today that it
can take some time to adjust to working full time versus part time, but my
question is: what are some of the ways you balance your time when you don't
have a lot of it.
I also
just enrolled in another Institute of Children's Literature class on writing
books for children and teens. After my first class with them, I learned a lot
about short stories and articles, but I'm really looking forward to working on
a good length novel one-on-one with my instructor. The way the class is
structured is similar to a writer-editor relationship, so I'm very excited to
get started. :) If anyone is looking for a good class on writing for children
and teens, I would definitely recommend the Institute especially because you
send in your assignments so it doesn't matter where you live; it's basically like
an online class.
The
Insecure Writer’s Support Group is a wonderful place where writers can share
their worries and failures as well as their successes and advice. Led by our
fearless leader Alex J. Cavanaugh,
IWSG meets the first Wednesday of every month and you can join on his site here.
I hope
you're all doing well and enjoying the New Year so far. Do you have any plans
for Valentine's? Tell me about them in the comments below! ^^ :D
