The Writer

As a writer, I feel like I’ve improved my voice. I feel like my voice is a reflection of how I truly think. My pieces are kind of jumpy and short. I feel like I’ve explored love and pain maybe not to the max but at least I’ve given it a start to understanding and expressing it but I still have a long ways to go. I am still yet to find a structure for my poems. I will continue to play around with those. I really like writing scripts but I need to make sure that I have a solid plot before I start writing.

I don’t really know how to explain my voice. I feel like my voice is one of trying to find understanding. A voice of confidence in their own lack of knowledge. One of the uncertainties of what they don’t know. I feel like my voice is a person who has too many thought to get out and they try to get them all out at the same time and then they sort it out later or try to. My voice is one who wants to keep things short but packed with many hidden meanings that sometimes I don’t see.

For upcoming writers, I would say that they should just emirs themselves in art. Visual, performing, written. Music, lyrics, drawing, movies, books, plays, and TV. When listening to music try to make a story just from the instruments or use the lyrics as a jumping point start a story or a poem or a script. Pictures tell a story in a moment. Try to see if you could tell a story before the moment was captured or what could happen after the moment has ended. You can do the same thing with movies and plays. You don’t even need to use art you can just look around you and find inspiration. Always carry sticky notes and a journal. Just continually write.
