just_cydI've talked to a couple people about this (first Darren, then Jo), but I'm still flummoxed by the fact that I can't seem to write true fiction. Oh, I can embellish the shit out of something, but I can't start from zero. Everything I write has to be based somehow on something I know.
I also struggle to NOT write in first person, and to keep tenses consistent, but the latter can be easily fixed in editing and with practice, and the former can surely be taught. But can you teach someone to make stuff up?
some of my pie-in-the-sky goals including having a dedicated writing space so I can start a daily writing habit, and to see about taking the general non-degree writing classes on offer at Sinclair.
