Wrote the first script of my life for my short film last fall. Felt reeeaally weird sending it out, and even weirder having people talk to me about it. Unfortunately everyone was very complimentary about it. It's going to be worse when people are reading my words when we shoot later, don't know how I'm going to handle it. I'll probably just start giggling.

And my English prof. from last semester said he'd give me a letter of recommendation... Strongly considering the MFA program in Creative Writing at my school. It's mostly correspondence, so theoretically I could get dat paper in the day as a software developer and then write like hell at night and on the weekends. I wanna pull a Nic Pizzolatto, teach at a lil school and write fiction on the side until I have something to pitch to HBO :3. Couple of years to go before that decision I guess, though.

And speaking of paper, the guys at the student newspaper apparently liked my shit enough to pay me as a reporter this spring.

EDIT: I don't know what this thread is about but whatever it is I'm in 100%

So I've been listening to a lot of the Doors lately so I took a poem I wrote the other day and used garage band to make it all beaty. It's not very original but I would love to hear some feedback on how to do better in the future.

I wrote a "borgesian style essay" based off of a fictitious romance novelist named Lindsay Memphis for a class assignment. I guess I'm fairly proud of it and I also want to start sharing more of my writing so here goes:



Also, I'd really love some critiques and/or comments and compliments / questions / any other thoughts you have.

We'll keep it chill (I know people have commitments besides writing stunning short fiction based on internet fit pics) and give people a week to post.

If anyone else wants in, just comment / rep saying so and I'll add you to the roster.

Bella, a dog I knew well and loved, died today. I wrote her a story, in the spoiler below.

WOw, I did not know this thread existed--Super cool--Here is a poem of mine that was accepted into a midwest-only publication called twig. If any of you are from the midwest, you should consider submitting poems to them!
