My name is Nikkolas Mullin; I am a 23-year-old student at South Seattle Community College, and I spent the last three years learning Pastry and Specialty Baking. What I discovered through all of this is that, amazingly, writing is what I want to do. Throughout my life, I have received praise for my "way with words," and have enjoyed the various aspects of writing, but never took them seriously. As I began taking academic courses at South, I had the fortune of having a very demanding English 101 professor, who at first drove me crazy. As the quarter progressed, I began to realize the value of an instructor that cares. It was during this time that my love for reading and writing was renewed, and since then, I have decided to pursue writing as a career. The next step for me in my path is finishing up my academic transfer credits, as I intend to apply to the University of Washington's Creative Writing path under the English major as soon as I am able. My interests lie primarily in fiction and creative nonfiction, and this blog will deal with the variety of challenges and circumstances I face as I begin my journey to find my place in the world of literature.

I loved reading about your goals. I can tell you are passionate about writing and determined as well. I wish you much luck on your journey. I look forward to what your blog might produce!
ReplyDeleteJust by reading your post shows how amazing you are with words. Writing has never been my forte so I commend you for pursuing a career in writing.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best!
Nik,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for your adventure. And I'm trying to figure out who you had for English 101. But regardless, there's nothing better than the teacher that pushes you to achieve better and do more. I'd be interested to hear about the different authors that have influenced you so far, both fiction and nonfiction, and why. I would also be interested to hear about what kind of fiction you hope to write someday. I look forward to reading your blog.
