The Speakers

I loved this panel of speakers. Of course, I’m also a junior creative writing major, so I’ve had block and gess extensively, and I’ll be seeing Chang next semester. I kind of loved it and thought it was super helpful. I mean, I’m not double majoring as I should be, so it’s good to hear about how impractical this major will be. Luckily, I’m not going for the full on writer experience.

I think the best part of the speech was on the money you make from novels. I knew, of course, that no one really becomes rich being a writer unless you’re super awesome great (which I’m not) but it was pretty helpful knowing what kind of cash to expect in the event of anything happening, such as book publishing. It kind of sounds like a really good hobby that’s good fun, and if you’re lucky, might get you some extra dough. Fantastical.
