new class

Soooooooo...I started a new writing class at UCLA to try and shift things around for me, recharge my battery, inspire me, challenge me, make me do homework, push my limits, etc...had one class and already I feel I am not good enough to write...instead of taking a song writing class, I enrolled in a creative writing class, thinking any kind of writing is going to be good for me ...and it's mostly working on fiction and short story writing...songs to me a short stories in a poem, so writing regular short stories is a huge difference, and after one class, I am not sure how to tell a story, or better yet, how to make up a really good story...most of my writing is based in real life feelings and events and life stories, so I am glad yet terrified to be trying something new.  BUT,  am not going to quit the class, I am going to do my homework, and I am going to push myself to be a better writer.  So there.  The end.  And, of course, to be continued...oh wait...before I end, our first homework assignment is to write a short story of only 150 words.  150 words is not a lot!  and it has to be EXACTLY 150...we shall seeeeeeeeeeee :)
