I Speak All That is Stone and Gossamer

Imagine yourself sitting at the front of any stage. The chair you sit in can be any kind of theater seat you like, decadent red velvet upholstery, cracked green vinyl that releases that particular plastic hiss as you deflate into the seat, or it might not have…

The Lonely Muse

The subject of my writing can be boiled down to two things: abstract concepts and atmosphere. Through those two elements alone do I get the most inspiration. Since my writing is inspired by ideas and atmosphere, my writing changes based on what concepts interest me in the moment and what places I’ve…

It’s just a bunch of Hocus Pocus

I think too much. I talk too much. I anaylze too much. I play games too much. I wear too much Black. I help others too much. I run to0 much. Put it all together and what do you have — A witch; at least that’s what my brother likes to call me.

“Title?”, Good Question.

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” -Kurt Vonnegut

Pinpointing an exact catalyst that started me on a path to writing is an extremely difficult question. I could start in my later years and go on and on about how…

Presents

A common question can often lead to unexpected answers, even those that the person being asked would not have given five minutes prior. That’s the case right now. In between typing “common question” and “can often lead” I had an idea, scrapped whatever I was about to write (may it rest in peace), and am now…

Heavy Eyeliner Companions

My best friend was a writer before I even knew I was. She was the “typical artsy type” with her heavy eyeliner and clothing reminiscent of Aria Montgomery. In a way, she visibly represented the kind of person I wanted to be, with her bubbly nature and edgy style, and her notebooks…

Write here.

I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am. 
(This was the very first poem I’d ever heard.)

Man I promise, she’s so self conscious
She has no idea what she’s doing in college
That major that she majored in don’t make no money
But she…

An inadequate thank you to my inspirations

I don’t think writers are actively aware of their influences. Sometimes you set out to try to write in the style of a particular person, but you end up painfully aware of your own shortcomings. The best influences are subconscious, the ones you absorb…

Everything just lined up, really.

“Why do you write”, he asked me. The question seemed simple on the surface – I write because it’s enjoyable. But why, exactly, IS it enjoyable??

If you asked anyone who knew me several years ago if they could see me as a writer, they’d probably…

Finish the List

I graduate in December and I don’t know what to do. It seems I’ve been looking at a clock counting down my whole life, telling me I had better pick something to be soon or I’ll be left standing alone with a dead clock. As I said in my last post, I have had various ideas for careers, and it’s only…
