Where can I submit my writing for feedback and potential opportunities?

Hi everyone, I live in Kentucky and have a deep passion for writing. I write songs (especially in the country music space), blog, and enjoy storytelling on topics like self-help, sports, and life experiences. I’ve had a unique and interesting life, giving me a distinct perspective in my writing. However, I only have a high school diploma. I attended college but couldn’t finish due to medical reasons, and I don’t have the financial means to go back now. I’m in my 50s and wondering: - Where can I submit a few stories or songs to get constructive feedback? - Are there any opportunities for someone like me to be taken seriously as a writer, even without a degree or formal experience? - What platforms or resources might help me get my work noticed? I’d appreciate any advice on getting my foot in the door as a writer. Thanks in advance! *Note: This is an anonymous question submitted by a member of the CareerVillage community.

How to understand a different perspective for characters?

Hi. So I want to make a story, and I want the characters to have diversity in many ways (disabilities, race, personality, ideals, etc.) but I don't know how to make a character through their eyes. How can I express them in a way where it's not assuming and more how they actually interact in the real world?

How can I learn more about creating art and story’s behind my art?

I want to grow to be an Artist because I’ve always been interested in the way animators create shows and how artist create drawing/painting that always had a story behind them. I want to learn more about the human anatomy so I can be better at realism and more about how animators draw in cartoony styles for short stories and funny scenes. I would also like to learn how to get better and writing stories for my characters, I can make short pieces and scenes of a story but I’m not very good at creating a actual narrative/story for them. Thank you and I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

How should I decide on an MFA program for Writing?

I see a lot of programs and I'm overwhelmed by which factors I should consider. Preferably, I would like a high-residency program that wouldn't require me to go into debt or expects me to pay too much out of pocket. My strongest medium is poetry, but I also like to write in prose.

So I wanted to post small animation content on social media like Instagram and LinkedIn. But I find it hard to create a good content strategy. I don't know where to start with writing, what kind of story will be good, or how to keep it short. I would really appreciate any help with this. Thank you.

For Video Game Designer, what things would I need to do and accomplish to make myself as appealing as possible for hire at a professional company?

I, while having enough dedication and intelligence to go into other fields primarily medical, have always been interested in story telling, character creation and development, and interactive experiences just to name a few. As an avid gamer, reader, and watcher of movies, I really enjoy cohesive visions that involve all the different aspects of communicating a story to the audience. This industry however seems so difficult to get into and I don't know what to do or where to start so that I could break into it. I know that I would be an asset to any creative team having written pieces of fiction ever since I was young in addition to having studying gaming in my free time when I'm not busy with life or playing one. I want to best I can be and to work on a project is my greatest dream. Nothing would make me happier. #Gaming #Designer #videogamedesigner #videogames #creativity #storytelling #art #technology

What should I do finally get this this finished?

I want to be a writer, but I can never seem to finish the story I want to make. Mainly because I keep restarting, get stuck on a part, or something else. #listening to any advise. #writing #creative-writing #storytelling #writing-and-editing #writer #thank-you
