My Writing

It is ever-changing, molding itself, and as one of my professor last semester said, “Create, destroy, create”, I believe that writing is never done it can be reshaped, revived and sometimes killed. Writing is my passion but it has changed me as I am changing it. When I first thought to myself, ‘hey, I’m going to be writer’, and the question that came to mind was, what kind? Genre was everywhere, especially in the bookstores, and I wanted to be in there with them on the shelves. Splitting my writing/I into categories, was the normal everyday thing that we always do, trying to find the best fit. I loved sifi anything, the knee deep other fiction that was always on some kind of psychedelic high. Sifi would be that genre, but I feel sifi cannot be put into categories; it is made up and can never fit in with the ever day because it is another. But would that be my calling card? Would it pin me down to have to choose my genre?

Ever since I transferred to Eastern I have learned so much, yeah I know that’s what you’re supposed to do in school, but it was more. I don’t have to shackle myself down to just one type of writing. I can mix genres; I can write novels or short stories, I can do anything with the tools of language, and I can even make up not only another world but another type of writing. I’m not finding what kind anymore; I’m still finding me, just me.

I have had previous transgenre classes and have read and learned and made my own trangenre. Mainly focuses on science fiction. I have dived unwilling into prose poetry, and came up with concrete particles and images, which now fascinate me. I have come to terms that what we think we know, may or may not help us, and nonsense can sometime mean new sense. I have already taken some high classes like 335 and 422, and was going to stay on the old major requirement but I thought 300 would refresh what I have learned or give me knew thoughts to add to my writings. Everything helps shapes that of the writing and the writer.

What I discover thus far;

Writers like talking to other writers. (Wish there was a writers group for undergraduates)

Now I would like to be a playwright, as well as a novelist.

and

“If I want to me a writer, I have to bleeping write, and bleeping write every day,” said by another professor.

The ongoing adventure of the then novelist. Perhaps now too.

In the process of writing an epic sifi new world novel, which is not an easy task, it a battle with the norms of what I know and what I don’t know but create.

And as always continued growth…
