Tomorrow (21st June), I will be attending a workshop on Fiction Writing, conducted by Academy of Literary Arts and Publishing Singapore. Any Singaporean writers here who are going tomorrow, I guess I'll see you. I would be super stoked if someone came to me and said that they have read my fanfiction, but then again, I don't have many Singaporean readers. Oh well.
Now, to be honest? I'm super anxious about tomorrow.
(K-ON! An anime that I would really love to watch, but it's not quite high in my priority list.)
What am I anxious about? Tons of things! This workshop is supposed to be an advanced workshop. Yes, I have experience in writing. But experience does not always equate to ability. I can just imagine.
Facilitator: let's have a short introduction around the room.
Participant A: Oh, I dabble a lot on writing. I've written articles for the Strait's Times (Singaporean newspaper).
Participant B: I've been sending manuscripts to publishers so I'm hoping for the best.
Aichioluv: Um... I write fanfiction?
*cue awkward silence*
I know, I should be proud of my 'heritage' but I am worried. What if I'm not cut out for this? What if I end up being more confused? What if my writing is so kiddish and I completely humiliate myself tomorrow?
What if, what if, what if...
I guess I'll only know tomorrow.
I would love to give you details about the workshop but I really want to get back to writing my chapter, so I'll tell you more after the workshop.
Meanwhile, have a good weekend!
