I've come to the conclusion that too much thinking is bad for you. Yesterday I hardly got any writing done at all due to considering Degrees/MA's. So today I have broken it down. Before I could consider an MA I would need to finish my degree, I'm looking at 2-3 years for that. I can do nothing this year as I need to put some money by. As we all now tuition fees are horrendous. So, getting bogged down by too much thinking was counteractive for me.
I have decided to make a rough plan of where I want to be and when - nothing concrete mind, I am a woman and may change my mind. So, in the meantime I will carry on with my fiction writing. I have drafted a new story this week too - so I am managing to keep to my new regime.
I suppose the big question is - what do I want more? To learn about creative writing or to be doing it?
About Me
- Rae Argent
- A fiction writer and mum to three great kids, also lucky enough to be married to the man of my dreams. In spite of that mushy comment I do not write flowery romance - I like a nice helping of real life grit in my work. I have a Diploma in Literature & Creative Writing from The Open University and remain a member of the wonderful Watford Writers, despite moving on several times. I am a big fan of Swanwick Writers Summer School which has taught me a great deal and where I have made many great friends. I have yet to reach the dizzy heights of becoming a published superstar but will continue to send my work out into the world.
