For English

A Story by AvalonDrowning

A little rant for English stemming from an Icebreaker.

In English this term I discussed wanting to incorporate my creative writing into my career. That's too blasé. What I really want is to make creative writing my career completely. Like most people who enjoy writing, as I'm sure everyone here does, focusing solely on writing without having to worry about the drab corporate world would be ideal. There's nothing more rewarding than loving the job you are in. I have so many stories floating around in my head that beat against my skull endlessly, wanting to tell their tales. They're impossible to withhold and I wouldn't want to.

Do you ever feel like you have a life's work? I feel like writing a novel that stays with humanity through lifetimes is mine. I want to influence people. I want to make them laugh; make them cry. I want my writing to be the topic of discussion around dinner tables and cafeterias. I want it to make someone's day a little better. I want it to be someone's escape from reality for just a few hours a day. I want all of these things because this is what literature has done for me. I only want to give to others what many an English teacher, a short story, a blog, and various assigned readings have gifted to me and transformed me into a writer that can return these bountiful favors.

These are the goals I hope to attain with my writing.
