I got my first homework assignment last night at the end of my very first creative writing class, and I'm afraid that I may be overthinking it already. At 2:30 this morning I wasn't sleeping, rather I was mentally trying out concepts for my 1-2 page double spaced piece that begins with "What if?" Ugh! Hopefully by Sunday at 11:59pm EDT when I have to upload my work for my classmates to comment on, my creative mind will have settled down, and I'll have put words on the screen.
There are about 20 people in the class and because it is taught virtually, they are from all over the country - a fact I hadn't considered when, since with a last name that starts with "A," I am more often than not, first up. It didn't occur to me that I should have specified ATL, GA when I talked about being the owner and chef of MetroFresh. Because, well, duh, if you live in Atlanta, you probably have heard of us!
The 20 or so people are from all sorts of professions and experience with writing. A couple software engineers, a couple medical professionals, a couple professional copy writers, and more than one stay at home mom, who put there careers on hold to raise the kids. I am, as is now so often the case, the elder of the group. And since I was cooking my ass off and not on ZOOM like most of the world during COVID, my biggest challenge was figuring out when I was on mute and when I wasn't!
Come see us. Peaches are in season - It's my favorite time of year! I made an amazing GF Peach Crisp yesterday that's for sale at the front counter...
