Creative writing

What I really want to do is become a better writer. I want to write a book about women and their struggles as women. But I want and need to start with something a little simpler such as submitting work to a magazine or newspaper. I am taking a research and writing class right now and hope to take a creative writing class this spring. I have always been so creative. As a kid I had to take this special test that had a section on creativity. Apparently I scored off the charts. I love making things such as knitting scarves for charity. I don't want to be forgotten the moment I die. So, I am going to make my life worth remembering or at least leave my mark on the world. I am so excited to take a creative writing class and to start with more professional writing. I am thinking it would be nice to actually work for a magazine or newspaper or some kind of publisher, then, work my way into writing a book.  I am currently studying gender and women studies. These are such fun subjects. As I said, I am very excited.
