I still haven’t quite decided which work I’m going to go with for my writing project but need to make a decision soon so that I can hand it in to my critique group. I’ve decided not to do the personal essay/open letter because it means a lot to me and I don’t currently have the time to dedicate myself to it. So, it’s between Barely Human Commodities and Intrigue. I can see the appeal of them both but I also can’t quite see the future of them, and that’s the problem I’m having.
I have my first on-campus class today (I wasn’t able to attend the first one and it’s fortnightly) and it was a strange experience. I got nervous in the corridor (like I usually do) and it felt like I had always been waiting in the corridor, as if I had been attending classes on campus the entire time. It was a relief when we were in class, though, as I remembered how much I prefer to learn in person. If I could do my degree online, I would, but at the same time I know that I learn better in person.
Going in to class also helped me discuss my work with some of my group members so I could start moving towards figuring out which one I want to write. I’ve sent off small portions and briefs of both and whichever is more interesting to the majority, I’ll write.
The Publishing Proposal assignment is coming up soon, and so I’ll need to have a grasp of what I’m doing so I can start working on that. I have a busy afternoon ahead of me though, so I’ll have to delegate some work to tomorrow’s me. I’ll also be going to the doctors to get advice on the cognitive issues I seem to be having and hopefully I’ll find out that it’s nothing serious and can be treated.
