First of all, I need to write on a more regular basis. That is why for the next 40 days (Lent) I am going to write something everyday. I need to get over my fear of failure. Sometimes I will fail. Sometimes I will write poems that completely suck. But if I keep working through it, I will start writing more good poetry than bad.

Second, I need to let go of conventions. It's like that scene in Fight Club where he is driving the car, and he let's go of the wheel to prove that, really, he doesn't have control; that there is no control. I don't really know how to put this thought into workds; it's in the same vein as the Sublime, therefore relatively indescribable. But I feel it in my heart & gut; good poetry is written with your eyes closed. It can't be approached logically, like an essay; it's a matter of the heart.

Well, off to poetry writing class.
Wish me luck.

I write short stories occasionally, but I feel really drawn to poetry lately. I also hope to get involved in photography soon.

I am very, very open to criticism & reading others' work! ]]> ~gingerale-kisses
