I'm in a Non-Fiction Workshop this semester, and though I've only written one paper for it I've already gone through the whole "you're a natural" and "you have a grasp on this writing thing" torture.

Yes, torture.

Since the day I decided to let someone read a very childish poem of mine, I have always been told I write well. I never get the feedback I want. I mean, it sounds ridiculous, but for once I wouldn't mind someone reading what I write and saying "Honestly, Stephanie, you wrote this in an hour. It's complete shit." Or something of the sort.

But no! Instead it's always about how good of a writer I am or how they don't think I should change much because I knew what I was doing. It gets old, but I'm not necessarily saying I don't enjoy a compliment here and there. I just want more feedback.

So, I've decided to challenge myself because it is November. I don't intend on writing a novel though; I've got something else I've been working on and I want it to be some semblence of "finished" by the end of this month.

I'm not going to talk about it just yet though because I don't want to jinx myself.
:D

Anyway, that's all.
Not much.
