Sent the first draft of the first short story for the seminar to Jake Lamar. Wonder what he’ll have to say about it?
Translating should be complete this week before the next meeting on the 21st.
Am considering creating a website where interested folks can read (and download) what I write. Not an author site since I haven’t been published. Maybe one day it would be transformed into an author site. Who knows? A girl can dream…and do all she can to get where she wants to be.
(Later that same day…)
Turns out, there was a communication problem. I thought that Jake Lamar was going to read over my English rough draft before I brought the French version to the seminar. I guess that’s not what he meant. The “organisers” did let the sign-up sheet get out of hand and there are too many people. I was wondering how he would handle reading everyone’s stuff in a seminar that size. Definitely going back to the next session, though. However, if the number of participants hasn’t gone down, I think I will drop it because I won’t get what I need out of it. I have the discipline to write fiction on my own without a seminar. The point for me was feedback and, if there are so many people that even one of my stories can’t get a reading, I won’t get the feedback I wanted. Sucks, but the seminar feels too disorganised to be useful to me. Starting to feel like I don’t really need this seminar and I should leave it to make room for someone who does.
