My writing has always been a way to work things out in my mind, it kept my sanity and helped me get my emotions out without having to burden others with my problems. I sometimes feel that people are so self involved and would much rather talk about themselves and therefore I have always taken on the role of listener.
I need to spend time on form and reflection, I think that I learned alot about that from this class. and although i have to admit that I have realized from this course is that unless I am inspired by something I can't write just to meet a deadline... I get stumped and then I think too much about it and too much into it that I just can't do it! It was very frustrating to me because I was so excited about taking this class and I feel that what I have written is not my best work, at all!
At this point, I feel that I am not ready for any sort of writing group. As I stated above when it comes to creativity I can not have a set time to meet and read work. It would prob stress me out knowing that I had an obligation to go weekly. I think if anything I would do something casual like go read something I wrote, that I felt proud of, at an open mic one night on a whim, that is more me.
I am not sure what I want to do in the future. I thought I wanted to go into teaching but I am not sure. And as far as using my writing in the future I'm completely unsure. haha... lots of uncertainty for this response. All I can say is that I will keep writing when I am inspired and see what happens and where it will take me.
I would like to write personal essays, life, love, happiness, sadness, very emotion, real and raw. I am a very honest person especially in my writing I don't hold back. I tell the truth especially when it comes to how I feel about things... I am true to myself.
Right now the only publication that I am going to send out is my personal essay to Literal Latte. As far as for the future it possibly might be just for the people around me... as Prof Chandler was just saying in class. I think that at this point I am more comfortable with that.
