less math intensive. Don’t get me wrong, I do like math, but I don’t love math. It was my strongest subject in high school. I’ve found over the last several years though, that I love to write. I’ve written – well, started – several stories that I have published on FanFiction.Net and I’ve enjoyed writing them. I like not only getting lost in a good story that others have read, but I like to get lost in my own creations too. So, in addition to Comp Sci, I want to also major in Creative Writing. I’ve been wondering for the last few weeks though, “what exactly does one do professionally with a degree in Creative Writing?” Today I asked my English professor that very question. She answered with some stuff I’d already thought of, but more things I hadn’t thought of. Apparently, there’s no Doctorate degree in CW, so the Master’s degree for CW is a “terminal degree” meaning it’s the highest degree one can get. A MSF in CW is potentially worth a lot of money should I decide to teach the subject. And if I were to become a published author on top of that, it would open even more doors. She suggested that I take a Creative Writing course. She seems to think that I would feel like, “somebody just sat you there and set you free!” Talk about getting a guy worked up. 🙂 I’m really excited about this prospect, and might look into it next semester. I do know that I can take the course and have it count toward my major at a 4-year institution. Honestly, I was really only considering the degree because I figured it would make me a better writer and increase my chances of getting published. This chat I had today has really given me some excitement for the degree, and has me considering changing my major to CW right now! I am going to wait a little bit before I make any rush decisions though. Anyway… I just had to share this and get it written down before the thought completely slipped my mind. I’m going to do some math homework now. Thanks for visiting and Keep Coming Back!!!]]>
