  • What I write in a day as an undergraduate creative writing student. That means writing on a deadline, how to manage stress, writing 3 pieces for a creative writing workshop, balancing life and homework, and most importantly: how I deal with being a creative writing student. This is how I prepare for an in class workshop.

    Did you go to school for writing or are you self-taught?
    Do you have to write on deadline? And if so, what kinds of deadlines? Are they self given or are they from an outside source?

    Great video. I am a self-taught writer who began with fanfiction and is now (supposed to be) writing nonfiction.

    Great video, it was fun to see your writing process! I'm doing a Creative Writing degree and I can totally relate, all the revisions and still not feeling like it's worthy of submission, plus the stress and sleeplessness... but at least you're organised and have friends who can beta for you last minute!

    Very interesting watching this! your voice is so relaxing, combined with i think your air con in the background sounded really relaxing aha. How do you plan out your thoughts and convert into a structured piece?

    I am student writer too hehe🤣 and I am from Public School, in our school there's section named " SPA SECTION " which means " SPECIAL PROGRAM IN THE ARTS", it's like a CLUB just like in private schools, since my school is public so there's no CLUB CLUB thingy HAHA, there are just 5 (talents) category to chose in SPA SECTION which is WRITING, DANCING, SINGING, VISUAL, ACTING, AND MEDIA EDITING, and we're in one section, one room, same adviser, but different teachers about our talents, like different teacher for singers, different teacher for dancers, different teacher for media arts, diferrent teacher for visuals/Drawing, different teacher for acting and especially different teacher for Creative Writer student, and first of all you need to take Audition, and then I did, first I audition for dancing, but I think I failed HAHA, but they approach me to be writer, so I agree, then now I am a student writer for 2 years from now on🤣 and its not just easy for us SPA STUDENTS, teachers always compare us to other section, especially for that special section which is the FIRST SECTION, they do have high expectation to us, ahm its just annoying HAHA, but still you know, just understand I think... ahm oh god HAHA I just explain my whole story about how I become student writer HAHA, sorry about my explanation HAHA, LOVE💓 YOUR VID! ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FUTURE AND TODAY TO TOMORROW! LOVE LOTS😘
    ps:excuse my english, and sorry for the long story HAHA.

    So like what genre do you plan on writing if you haven’t said so already because I want to major in creative writing (fiction) once I get to college in a few years and also do you have to write poems as one of your courses or does it all depend on what genre you plan on writing??

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  3 года назад +1

      I write science fiction and fantasy novels. I was in a poetry class at the time and have written poetry in the past. Genres and forms will mostly depend on what classes you are in! But that's so exciting! Good luck!
