Writing has always been important to me, but lately I haven't been doing it very much. Sometimes I feel like writing and I have a love/hate relationship. I've somewhat given up on novels, focusing on short stories and flash, yet there's still an appeal. There will always be an appeal. Yet, mere appeal is not enough to follow through into action, you know?

This summer I've been living in Chicago, (which is about two hours from my parent's house), working at a video and media production company. I chose to study in this field when I came to college because it's another way of telling stories, and there's a real connection to people. There's energy and quick feedback. I struggle with writing alone for hours and not getting much feedback.

I've got one more year of school left. I'll always keep writing, and I do wish I could more easily write longer works, but for now I'm satisfied. Perhaps when I get older and less restless I'll do more writing.

That's awesome! I've always loved film and visual storytelling, and I think it's an incredibly powerful medium--probably even more so than novels. :aww: Good luck! I hope you learn a lot and enjoy your new field.
