If I want to be a writer, should I major in creative writing?
I want my career to involve writing in some way because I absolutely love the art of writing. My dream is to write creative fiction novels and have them published but I understand that it is very difficult to become a published free lance writer, hense why I also want a stable career as well. But I DO want that stable career to involve writing. Should I major in creative writing or does it not matter? I need honest opinions. I have a natural knack for writing but I definitely need a lot more skill if I have hopes of becoming published one day.Honest opinions, please.Thank you

Jane Eyre creative writing?
I'm meant to be doing a diary account of Grace Poole's, however I'm trying to decide whether I should recount events before the fire, or after it?
My creative writing class has lead me to write a story but it involves alot of gore and is very graphic?
Well the story is about earth after thousands of years from now. It begins with a character who has no idea of her past and has no idea how she got where she is or who she is and later on she starts wondering what she is. she is what i describe as an ariel she has the ability to move any object with her mind within 20 yards which includes compacting it into tiny pieces, lifting it, moving it or completely destroying it. The beiging of the story starts with some side characters, one of them is a general who ends up battling the ariel on her own planet and ends up murdering nearly everyone and everything around him. the scientist warns the general of her capabilities and tells the general to retreat at all costs. the general refuses to retreat and attacks the girl in an attempt to capture her and learn her capabilities so that he can one day recreate her in a lab and use her as one of the most deadly weapons in the galaxy. even his biggest attempts including nuclear weaponry the girl remains unharmed despite her entire planet being completely destroyed. After the attacks she ends up being caputured after passing out from the nuclear attacks. The general takes her to earth despite the scientists greatest warnings about taking an ariel to our own planet. well to skip most of the detail she escapes the lab after seperating the limbs of all the guards of the lab on planet earth and ends up passing out again in the middle of a park. a little girl finds her and befriends her even though she has no ablity to speak, no memory, and is practicly an infant in a 13 year old girls body. The story continues with her learning more about life and her remembering her true identity, she is faced with two sides, the one to create and nurture life and what she was born or designed to do which is to destroy or corrupt life. She ends up with seperate voices in her head and throughout the story she begins battling these voices, the story is about control, belief, violience, love, and trust. so im just asking would it be ok to go crazy with the gore and details, because i dont want to hold back, what are your sugguestions?
Should I do my MA in creative writing or publishing?
I love writing and always have done. I got my degree in journalism but wanted to go into the fictional writing route. I want to be a writer but realistically in this world I know I also need a career. I want to do a masters in creative writing but I think that could be a waste of time, although the degree was in oxford so I was hoping it might have some use. I could go on and do teaching and write on the side aswell. i also saw an MA in publishing at oxford. I would definitely love to make publishing books my career and believe I could market them and would do very well but publishing companies don't usually publish their own work and I feel I could get stuck publishing others work and never being able to publish my own i couldn't exactly sent manuscripts to the competition . I know I'm rambling so can anyone make any sense of which way I should go?Holly I have put an excerpt of a short story onto the website. The link is answers.yahoo.com question index ylt AhBqA32Kv3Gw YZ4QZktA23ty6IX ylv 3?qid 20120202051537AAHTT3Y.

Another creative writing endeavour, what do you think? Not sure where its going...?
Late night writing gets the better of me again, Not sure where i'm taking this, also i understand there is probably a lot of grammar spelling issues at the moment. There are over dramatic statements and it makes me cringe when i read it back, but hey ho. I was sat in my philosophy class on Monday talking to Tash about something deep and profound I imagine. She was recollecting a story I wasn't really hearing but I laughed anyway where I knew I should. Yawning and looking up to move away from her I caught the eye of a scruffy, hippy dippy lad sat at the other side of the room. Shaggy hair stuck to the sides of his face and he had countless chains around his neck, different symbols and jewels knocked about chest as he shifted in his seat. I held his gaze momentarily for the first time, usually just snapping my head away and feeling awkward. Needless to say I felt like even more like an uncomfortable shy girl. Why is it that the human body has evolved to have such unhelpful reactions in the most peculiar of situations? I just wanted to smile at him, prove that I have an ounce of confidence lodged deep down inside somewhere, that I am probably more interesting than a large percentage of the mindless sheep waltzing around this place. That maybe just maybe if I smiled at him he would smile back. No, all I could manage was to stare him down, attractive.I ve always been fond of the hippy type, those people still waltzing around as if they are from the 60 s, a time of revolution, of not giving a fuck, alternative living and embracing this glorious planet we are so suddenly slaughtering. I imagine that if I had lived then I would not be this person, I would be a girl that followed her desires that did what she wanted to do or what she dreamt about. I could have travelled anywhere, got on a boat with a hundred strangers and made a hundred friends by the end of the journey. I would never have to see them again, not on a computer screen, not at college the next day I could just move on with my life and be whoever I wanted to be. I would stay in a community surrounding a crumbling shack on the beach, talking to people about more important things than the weather, or the traffic, I wouldn't have to worry about being that shy girl any more, I wouldn't have to worry about people at all, who needs relationships when you are free to get up and leave at anytime of your choosing. God, can you imagine it? Being able to dance about in the ocean, staying up under the stars simply to see them, to look at them and be able to actually attempt to comprehend the amount of unimaginable chaos that exists beyond them To live simply for the sake of experience, for laughter and for happiness. Bliss Absolute Bliss Sadly my friends, this is not the 60 s this is 2012 and in this day and age everyone is acquainted but nobody knows anybody. People don t talk anymore, not really. Not about what is important, not about opinions and thoughts and feelings. People don t talk about the stars in fact I say good luck in finding someone that acknowledges their existence behind the plastic light of the human presence. People, people don t think about anything other than people, and that my delicate reader is why people will end this unforgiving planet, and the people will burn.

How to get better at creative writing?
Hi, I love to write, and in the future I would love to pursue a career as author.I know at the moment I'm not horrible, but I'm not brilliant either.Some thing I'd like to ask, the things that I mostly struggle with With coming up with ideas, not specifically for a whole story, but just a short one or paragraph? Yes, people tell me look around, go out and get inspired, don't think, just write. But I find it quite difficult to do that. How can it be easier?With word choice and vocabulary, I am getting better, but I find it difficult, again. To rememeber new words and definitons, I do write them down, it helps a bit, but not much. How can I learn new words and use method to remember them more easily?Okay, this last question is hard to explain, so if you don't get it, you can just leave it. So I want to know how I can come up with.. 'sayings'. For example, I read a piece of writing where it said I'm wishing in one hand, and sh ting in the other, and I'm noticing which one will fill up first' Or, just the short sayings like, 'per say' Which I thought was quite clever, has this already been used? How can I think of something like that? If you understand what I mean..And finally, overall, how can I gradually just become better at writing?I appreciate whoever answers, please help Thanks

I need help with a creative writing prompt! Any ideas?
So, I'm supposed to transport by time machine three authors I have chosen to discuss their opinions on a given piece of literature. It needs to be entertaining and creative, which is the part I'm having trouble with. Would anyone like to lend an idea they have for an interesting story? Thank you so much, the help is much appreciated Here's the prompt, if you want to read it Choose three authors from the earlier eras of our country who are proponents of the three different literary movements, Puritanism, Classicism, and Romanticism. Transport them by time machine to common ground. How would these three writers interpret The Open Boat Daisy Miller, The Awakening OR McTeague? Have each draw comparisons between these texts and their own works. Their interpretations of the texts should reflect the literary movements to which they belong. Your writing will be in the form of a fictional conversation between the authors and focus on the text assigned to you at the final.
