Q: I'm a writer...An amateur one, anyway.
I'm a sophomore. Well, at my school, there's a creative writing class. I'm part of it. I just wanted to join to get an easier class (because I can write.)
Now, they like my stories. And they're pressuring me to join clubs and contests and write more and more.
I'm not ready for that. I don't want this kind of pressure. I get enough craploads of homework from other classes and now this?
The thing is..they're all so close, the other creative writing students (in the clubs and all) and I'm more of a reserved individual. I don't want to take part. I'll do the school work, sure. But I only write for myself at any other time. The clubs/contests are volunatry. You don't have to take part. But they pressure me. And I don't want it at all.
Am I completely wrong to think this way?

No, you're not. There's no reason for you to do something you don't want to. If you're good at something, show it off... but don't pressure yourself into doing more than you can handle, because then you'll just get sick of it and you just won't wanna do it at all. Anyone pressure you, just politely decline, and if they still won't leave you alone, explain what you just did=]

Hi, I'm Marisol :) I'm 24 years old. I try to look at all different sides of a situation before forming an opinion. I may not always know what to say, but I always have something TO say. So as far as giving advice goes, I just give my best input and hope I can help. Let me know how I do with some feedback. :)
