So much has happened in my life since I have joined pathetic.org. I am so grateful to have this space to express myself. It's been hard to write lately... I dunno why. I figured I'd just start by saying that. I've been focusing on being a more rational individual, which has been hard and def. not conducive to elaborate adjectives and head-in-the-clouds comparisons. I think this is good for my writing. As I read over my work, I realized how easily I let myself write my feelings. I let them flow and that was how I maintained some structure or rhyme/reason to them, by staying in the same voice... but I could have written more attentively. I could have represented my images with more tangible and understandable comparisons. In other words, sometimes my poems seemed off the deep end, scattered aimlessly all over the place switching favor and switching subjects... I needed more consciousness. it turns out that trying to be extremely conscious is also not very poetic for me. I say to myself, think more simply and embrace the silence. I have had some really good one liners- but the rest of the poems never seemed to come out. I guess that's how writing goes. I just never thought I'd have "writer's block," but here we are. standstill. I think I'll go try to squeeze something out...
