Thought
by Mitchell
So in the spirit of personal accountability I decided to tell you that I'm going back to college. Ok, well, not college so much, but, Wednesday night I am staring a creative writing course with Emory Extension. No kidding!
I decided that going into my old age, I want to have a hobby. I discovered in college that I wasn't super skilled at visual arts - painting and drawing are not really my forte (understatement) And I really don't want to do pottery which feels like I would just end up with a bunch of unwanted bowls cluttering up my shelves and risk people blocking my number when I offer them yet another lopsided mug.
So... I decided that I'd see if all this writing I've done over the last 20 years, most of which has been short form essays/commentary, but all non-fiction, is a skill that can transfer to fiction - to storytelling. I love fiction and I am a constant reader. I quite literally am never NOT reading a book. (I'm sure I'll learn how to write a sentence without three negatives. But I think three negatives = one positive!) I'm fascinated by people who can take a story idea and create plot, character, and worlds that, before they turned on their computer to start, simply didn't exist. They create something from nothing. And I want to see if I can do that too. Hopefully I'll have another couple decades to try. I think it'll keep me busy and engaged as I age. I have no expectation for the outcome. At this point in my life I don't have anything to prove to anyone but myself, which is an awesome place to be. Wish me luck!
Come see us. We're open at MetroFresh Uptown Monday through Friday until 2:30.
