I guess I created this blog because my creative writing is
really getting in the way of my schoolwork, and I’m writing really cheesy deep sentences
in all my super serious essays. Not exactly the combination I want, so I’m
pretty much picking up all of that part of my brain and splatting it here.
Never apologize for nonsensical words you coin.
On a completely unrelated note but related topic, I love creating movie reels in my head, and all the better
when they’re completely original. Imagery is my favorite type of writing; I
wouldn’t be surprised if some post in the future is just one long description
of some place, real or fantasy. I fit stories with settings better than the
other way around, anyways. Speaking of
images, I’ll just drop a thought that some run-on sentences, like in (no shame)
Winnie-the-Pooh, are like panoramic pictures. I just mentally hold my breath
and submerge myself in text until it finally ends, and resurface with a release
of suspension. Don’t judge, I’m sure there are much better examples than
Winnie-the-Pooh out there, I’m just tired and happened to see it today crushed
beneath my more recent books and felt bad for it.
But I digress.
Basically, I’m going to try submitting one post each Friday
and see if it helps me keep my sanity during college-hunting season. With luck,
I’ll get into and used to it during senior year and keep it up into the college
days.
Holy shit, college.
So basically I'm creating an online diary. I can't think and write quickly; usually what happens is I think something really far in advance and then I forget that amazing thought once my hand had caught up with me. So, a salute to technology.

Also, at the end of each post, I’ll try to ask a random
question (which I may or may not answer), or copy a great quote, or link a favorite song. Anything that’ll help
me think. Or, for a better purpose, put me in a good mood.
So, for my very first post, here’s one of my favorite songs
from one of my favorite artists.
The Golden Floor, by Snow Patrol.
