I have the opportunity to submit my short story to a creative writing compilation that the university is doing. But I dunno if I will. I kind of feel like if I do, it will lose something. No one will understand what I am trying to express, and the meaning gets lost in translation and interpretation. -.-

I'm gonna see if there's a summer writing course at the local junior college. I'm already taking 16 units this summer, what's 3 more? And working... hmm, nah! Why not?

I hate taking writing classes. Everyone I have been in is bound and determined to force me into writing a research paper with references and works cited pages...I hate it!

I understand that feeling. Usually the only people I share my works with are those who either know me well, or have had similar experiences. If it's something that's published to the general public, I agree that it can get lost in translation or just fly over their heads.
Side note, arwen, I adore your avatar! Very creative. And pretty and mysterious!

are you still awake?I can't believe this thread is four pages!
Amen sister!
You see, I'm not worried about meaning getting lost in translation for a couple reasons. First if there's a point I want to get across I trust the people will get it, second, I think it's pretty sweet when someone can find their own meaning and interpretation to someone else's work, number one it shows they can think on their own, number two, I would be flattered that my work can help them find a little piece of themselves.
L-Tryptophan will also convert into...niacin I think if you're deficient in it. But I've never heard it turning into Melatonin...
