Wow, congrats on winning that! Great story though, its kinda weird world we live in where we value fields like writing and the arts but yet no one ever wants their kid to be one. GL on your novel and your future as it seems that you have that drive that a lot of people lack or lose on the way. Keep it up!

OP sounds very arrogant and pretentious just like the professor you had. That line about you wrote, something about the no talent ass clown students that had to read your super good paper? what was that about? maybe they are chasing their dreams also...what makes you so much better than them?

I'm not sure you realize the motivational power behind this post. Someone's gonna do something big after reading this.

It's like a force just pushing you to follow your dream. It's posts like these that make me feel that it's still worth trying and simply giving a brighter perspective of your own life.

I'm really happy for you, because I've been in the same situation, and I didn't have the motivation to stick with what I was doing.

Would you be so kind as to post your winning story? If you would like to do it privately you could send me a PM.
I'm a huge fan on fantasy and science fiction

Keep the dream alive.

i didnt get that impression at all...think of it more like: the valiant hero struggling against the masses, everyone wants him to prevail

edit: Good story btw

Ya thats great when the valiant hero is humble and easy to like. Maybe its just me, but i got the vibe that this kid comes from a super rich asian family that values material things and thinks they are better than others. I'm not trying to put down the OP at all because its great that he won this award and looks to have a promising career. He just doesnt seem to have that humble vibe and the I overcame all odds living on the streets type of deal, thats all. He seems like he had so many opportunities that many other dont have.

I just wanted to say this story resounded greatly with me because my experience is very similar to yours. Asian family that didn't support going into the arts, swapping from a "safe major". Working through weeks of just hoping that SOMETHING comes to you to continue your next chapter. Realizing that three hundred + pages of what you worked on for an entire year is crap and needs to be redone from page one, etc etc. Sometimes, you really do want to just say "fuck it", pack up and just grab that MBA and the whole thing over with. But you know you can't, because as much as your parents want to tell you, "This is the most important phase of your life so get a career" you realize it's an important phase of your life because you want to get those words out there on the page before they burnt out in the back of your mind. And those words are really fucking gone then, another story that's never going to get written or come back.

So good luck to you and I hope for the very best.

PS. I would be happy to read your writings and offer you thoughts, etc anytime you desire a pseudo online workshop.

I've been writing for about a dozen years in the same field (fantasy/scifi)... but I have no intention of ever trying to get published or even make my work public. You are indeed very, very lucky. Everyone I have ever spoken to has said that even getting recognized by anyone is a hopeless impossibility. But I don't mind; I don't write novels to make money, I write them to bring my worlds to motion.

I got the vibe that you got dropped on the head as a child. I am surprised you care about what anyone who wishes to go into the writing field thinks about since it's obvious you have no reading comprehension ability at all.
