Writing

I am taking a creative writing class right now and I'm working on a 120,000 word story. I am nearly finished with it, just updating dialogue and adding some lines in here and there. I've found that writing fiction is much harder than it seems. Bad fiction is easy to write, but the good stuff, that takes a killer idea, great execution, and the ability to write with prose and imagery.
I am just proud of the fact that I started a story and finished it, all 120,000 words of it. I liked the ending, I liked the plotline for the most part. But, as soon as it's graded, it will be going in the trashcan. I like writing, but I don't think my calling in life is to write fiction.

Speaking of fiction, I have a friend who writes fan fiction and is currently working on a story that is a crossover between Gob Bluth from Arrested Development and Cristina Yang from Grey's Anatomy. I can't wait to read it, because I think that will be spectacular and hilarious.
