Hi everyone,

It's been awhile. My college experience has been very up and down. For the most part the school I choose is alot different then what I thought and i'm having some trouble adjusting. I find myself in 0 creative writing classes, which is upsetting. Although I have been unable to get into creative writing classes (the school offers 1 a creative writing class a semester :()-- I have been writing a lot on the side. No new 'publishable' stories, but a lot of interesting poetry.

On other note a company will be flying me out to San Francisco to do speaking about my life and my book!!! My dream is to travel, write, and share my stories! I'm so excited for my first official speaking gig!

Other news...

Young author dreams of giving out 100,000 of his books! :)
-- The title of my kickstarter! Please watch the video and if you want you could donate.

"I dream of sharing my life story, meeting new people, and inspiring others to love their life, the same way I want to love mine. I am hoping by giving away my writing that others can read it and feel a sense of graitutude for life. I also think literature is essential and I hope people can relate to some of my personal feelings. Hopefully through getting my books free on all major retailers I can share my story and giveaway 100,000 Ebook copies!" - Kickstarter Description, kickstarter here-- http://kck.st/1vMtS4E

Thank you for reading! :)

Congrats on the speaking engagement! :snoopy:

Lack of college writing classes is not the end of writing. Just store away all those interesting tidbits you can glean from the other classes for use in future stories.

May you thrive!

Blessings,

I'm trying to give the 100,000K books away... Which is proving very difficult. I am going to go post about it in self publishing. I have all the books listed through Smashwords and also kindle, but Amazon hasn't 'price-matched' to free yet.
