Yesterday I started a writting class. I was a bit unprepared for it in some ways. I think I needed one in between the ones offered. I am way beyond the classes about "getting started" but 2 out of the 7 of us in the class came with completed manuscrips they were getting ready to submit and had done the reasearch as to the proper publishing house and market for their work. I also got lost and was late.
I had hoped it would be a bit about how to determine the market for your work and get things organised and how to do the reasearch into it. I also have been spending most of the past 9 months writting fan fic, which has been excellent pratice but not even things to share with the class. And even the G ones are romances mostly and I don't know I feel too weird to read that kind of thing to an audience who is not into at least romance.- I did share one short one that was not exactly a fan fic. (I may have put it on here - "Afternoon With Orlando" ) I have got a few rought drafts of other things. I really guess I have to pick one of those and stay with it too work on during the rest of the classes.
So we will see, she did say we would lern about writting and subbmitting a quiery letter.
