The goals I have for
this semester are to better my writing and through that, myself. I think that
when someone writes they learn more about themselves, if they are being truly
expressive in their writing. I plan to work on my short stories more, I haven’t
visited them in a while and I want to try to develop some of my short stories
into full novels. I love fantasy and writing about fantasy but also making it
dark and gripping, drawing the reader in and usually leave them hanging. I love
the starter stories from bird by bird and
The Pocket Muse they are really
inspiring for short story ideas. The Fantasy genre really grabs me too, the
dark, horror and grit riddled side to fantasy though. Glenn Cook is my, sort of role model author. His books
and his short stories are all so deep and tug at ones heart strings for all of
the tragic characters. There is also no Black and White to the characters, no
total hero’s and no absolute villains. “good guys” are sometimes not so good and
“bad guys” can be good. Morals are present but not all good morals and not all bad
morals. That’s generally how people are. I really hope someday that I will be
able to make one of my shorter stories into a novel that would be close to Glenn
Cooks caliber of writing. I think the biggest goal I have for this class is my
novel writing.
