Dreaming of a Good Future

From the presentation yesterday, I really liked what he said about critique groups and self-publishing. I'd never really given self-publishing or critique groups any thought, but now I think it might be worth looking at. One question I have would be this - was self-publishing worth it? I wonder if all the work it took was worth it to self-publish. Next year, I'd like to be at college. I'm still looking at which college I'll really go to, but I'm really excited. In five years, I'd like to be nearly finished with my first degree, most likely in psychology. I hope to be living on my own and paying my own way, independently. In ten years, I'd like to be finished with my Ph.D and starting to work at a college. Perhaps I'll be married and very busy (with work and so on) at this point. In fifty years, I'd like to be happily retired or going through the process of becoming retired.
