After entering LVC as an art and visual culture major, senior Olivia Haug found that what she once thought would be a good career was not working out as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art was a passion of hers, but the more time went by the more she realized it was more of a hobby than something she wanted to do as work. By the end of her freshman year, Haug made the decision to change her major to creative writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWriting felt more like home,\u201d Haug said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While writing is also a passion of hers, Haug felt that it was a more viable career option than art. Compared to other creative mediums, writing came more naturally to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, Haug sees herself working as a freelance writer and doing commissioned pieces for clients. Having experimented with multiple genres and forms while in college, she enjoys writing fantasy short stories the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like to use fantasy as a form of escapism, and short stories allow me to write a whole narrative in a small amount of space,\u201d Haug said. \u201cOften, short stories stay in the moment and let you focus a lot on character interactions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who focuses a lot on character interactions and character-building in her work, Haug says that the short amount of space makes one think more directly about how character dynamics push a story forward. Everything needs to be completely intentional due to the space constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haug\u2019s short-term goal after graduating is to get her work published in a literary magazine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
