2.2 > 7
2.1,2 > 19
I received: 35.1,3,6 > 55
I often think maybe I need to live life more, have more experience, before I could write properly anyway.
2.2 > 7
I think it points to a solid position but without anything creative. No special skills need to be acquired, your own character does the job (2.2)
But if Em Ching would need to acquire more skills in order to land the teaching position, maybe not worth it?
i have been attending creative writing classes, on and off, and really enjoy them. I'd like to think myself a writer, (budding that is), but i don't know if i can justify it because i don't feel that i'm good at writing stories, in day-to-day life when i have spare time i am not excited or compelled to write (though i wish i was), but then again i often write sentences and dialogues, and have ideas, just when i start writing a story with actually characters etc. I start to lose interest and stop short, or keep going but not seem to be able to write what i enjoy reading myself!
ginnie said:Seems to me, just on the basis of common sense, that if you are considering the fields of publishing and writing, you might get your Masters Degree first, since for many good positions it is a requirement. Anyway, 55 means the peak and so you would reach a zenith of expression.
I think that what em ching says about her writing skills speaks volumes about her capabilities in the field of creative writing don't you, and therefore she does indeed need to use commonsense as well as be realistic about her actual chances of ever succeeding.
Maybe best to make no decisions at this time. Creative non-action, as Peter posted, would seem to be the way to go ....
A PS./ aha! moment
I had a feeling something was up with my freelance work (they had started sending work to copy-editors in India but still used some freelancers (me being one) but I had a feeling this might happen). I asked the day before I was let go, what is the status of my job?
23.4,5 > 12
**** I said to myself. I guess I knew then
:bows:
In the 35>55 both lines 1 and 6 move which can indicate, to me at least, that this is an episode, one works through the whole episode in one go and I feel here it may be a bit of a dead end. 55 can mean you have gone as far as you can go within this particular phase of progress with the writing. I also have the feeling you may want to get out as soon as you get there...mainly because both lines 1 and 6 indicate something worked through pretty quick...it actually might not be challenging enough for you?
A friend who's done a masters said not to go into it with anything in mind, other than the love of writing, which makes sense. I'll just then, have to see how I go, see if my writing waxes or wanes.
Hi Trojan,
So wherever 1 and 6 change you'd call it a brief episode or a phase? (I thought it was only if those two change, but it makes sense), perhaps the central line changing is about the support that is available, but regardless, it's not an easy thing to go into and as you say, may not ultimately be so worth it. Maybe this is the time when I'm considering it most seriously, thinking it through to conclusion, for now anyway, until real life gets in the way of dreaming

Thanks!

but raise the money by teaching abroad
Em, I am sorry to be late to the party...I have had to work lots of hours recently...that is my excuse.I feel I have three choices ahead of me but I have a feeling I'm not the one in the driving seat anyway so maybe I needn't fret so much.
1. Pursue living abroad even if I don't get my ideal position (as a writer/editor in an educational institution) and have to teach English again (which I kind of enjoyed in China but I don't feel I was the best at it - but I had a lot of fun and travelling in general is always so rewarding!)
2.2 > 7
2. Pursue work experience with a literary agency in London and then look for jobs in publishing? (ie. start on my 'career' and stay in Britain). Appeals because of the idea of independency and making money and pursuing my interest.
2.1,2 > 19
3. Finally, I have been attending creative writing classes, on and off, and really enjoy them. I'd like to think myself a writer, (budding that is)....
I asked what if I stayed home and saved money (which has the danger of me going mad at home though and possibly feel deprived of experiences and people etc) for doing a Masters in Creative writing next year in the University of East Anglia (Norwich)
