What am I talking about?
Well, I finally submitted my registration for the Iowa Summer Writing Festival!
I am very excited, but also very nervous. I hope I don't come away feeling like a fool, as though I wasted my time and money, but I am really trying to remain positive, look to learn as much as possible from the experience. The workshop size is limited to twelve so it should be a very interactive experience.
I decided to sign up for a short story workshop, to focus on getting the gist of a story down in fewer words as I feel I can have a tendency to ramble on at times; and not just when I write. I am looking forward to getting to work on several aspects of writing and develop a whole story during the workshop. I am not concerned about having ideas, but I am concerned about turning these ideas in to decent stories.
However, once again, I need to remind myself that this is exactly why I am participating in the workshop. I have heard so many great things about the Summer Writing Festival I know it will be a wonderful experience, and perhaps some day I will be an instructor for a workshop! Now how could I be more positive than that!
I guess I better get to work and go write some fiction!
