At last, I’ve come to learn that one’s work life doesn’t necessarily have to contradict with one’s writing life.
Case in point: Now that I don’t have to worry about school stuff, I’ve actually started a new book. I’m at thirty pages currently and am hoping to get a lot more done over the summer. I work during the day and crank out pages at night and I only need to worry about my main character, her journey and the story I’m trying to tell. It’s fun. It’s a refreshing change. And I’m trying my best to put to use what I’ve learned over the past two years during workshop without letting any voices of critique hold me back from what really matters at this very early stage — the story itself.
My post-grad plan is that simple. To write without inhibition.
