Rebecca Week 8

I don't know about all of you but I am READY for Spring Break. I'll finally have time outside of school of work to just chill and relax and dedicate some real time to my writing. Whenever I have free time from work or from class or from homework, I really just find myself wanting to take a nap or watch some tv, just anything that doesn't feel like work. So it will be nice to be able to have some dedicated writing time but also having some free time to do all the other fun and easy-going stuff (assuming my jury duty session gets cancelled, fingers crossed!!). But my goal is definitely to do some writing for my thesis everyday, since I won't have any other assignments to really worry about.

I also just want to say how helpful the workshop was for me on Friday. I LOOOOVE getting feedback on my work and knowing what confuses people or what isn't quite working right so I can go back and fine tune things. It also helps to know that people really like certain scenes or moments that I'm quite fond of and enjoyed writing, so the workshop was overall just really helpful. When I got home that afternoon I just went through and read everyone's notes and feedbacks on the copies returned to me. I think that's always the best part of workshop, learning from others' reactions and comments. So thank you! 

I guess that's all I really have for this week. Wishing everyone a great spring break!!

  1. I am SO READY for spring break. Because it's never just putting aside time to write, but also putting aside the mental capacity you need to write. When I've sat down to write these days, I've found I can only keep at it in short spurts before I need to just close my eyes and breathe. Everything else going on has zapped my energy. It will be great to recharge, to get myself back to that place where I can look at writing as something fun to do instead of just another thing I'm way too tired to handle right now.

    You have a great spring break too!
