The World According to Leslie

 In August 2019, I started a 2nd Master's degree. I went into the M.A. Professional Writing program at Liberty University.  After the first semester of classes, I decided to change my major, but I did not do it until last week. I officially changed my major to the M.F.A. in Creative Writing. When I grow up, I want to be a writer!  I am a writer, but I want to be a professional writer. I have ideas in my head for a book, and they have been there for years. I do not know how to get them out of my head an onto a page.

I am excited for her. She knows what she wants to do. She has already been accepted to two schools--Liberty and Chowan. We are waiting for a couple more schools to respond. We have a few visits lined up, and she is excited.... I think.  Liberty Acceptance Package Chowan Acceptance Package She was also asked to join the National Society of High School Scholars.

 Just about every two years, I come back here to write something.  I always tell myself that I am going to get back into writing so that I can build my blog and write more often.  However, I do not have the time management skills to do it.  Now, I'm going to say that I will try to do better, but if I don't, I may come back in two years to write (basically) the same post again. Now.... who else have issues doing what you love and want to do?
