So I’m listening to the lectures of Randy Ingermanson’s Fiction 101 course on my Ipod Nano and getting a lot of housework done. I think before when I went through it a few times I was a pre-Freshman writer. I would listen and glean a fair bit, but I didn’t take myself very seriously and lacked focus. This time around I got so much more out of how he breaks down the 4 year process of moving from a novice to a published writer. It’s been really encouraging to look at it this way, and hear clearly what is required. It’s always good to go into a major undertaking with your eyes wide open. I’m really thankful for these resources.
