6-word Memoirs

"I'll put on real clothes tomorrow." Being lazy is great, sweatpants for the win. 
"Waking up is the biggest commitment." Its the only thing I really have to really convince myself to do all day. Homework, no problem. Relationship, no problem. Going to school, really not a problem. Just waking up.
"Glasses, braces, church kid, drug dealer." It was unexpected. Shows that any good kid can do something bad. Not just the sketchy kids you would expect it from.
"Said it all; took half back." It is too true. Made me think about all the things I have said that I wish I could take back.
"Husband says im his favorite psycho." Men drive woman crazy, so in the end we all are, just depends which crazy you can deal with. It made me laugh because my boyfriend tells me I'm out of my mind. Which I probably am, but its fine with him.. and me.

Future Writing

My goals for this semester is that I plan on working on the variety of my writing. I should take more risks in what I'm writing and change the tone and topics or using more writing devices. Putting in symbolism and foreshadowing would help my writing. I tend to only write the facts as they are and not put in a lot of creativity. I could use more techniques to get more in depth with the writing. I could write from other people's perspectives and change the tones. Get more creative with everything. I also need to work on self editing. I stop myself after every sentence to review and edit what I just wrote and then lose what I wanted to say. I need to teach myself to just write and then after I've fininshed and am happy, go back and edit everything. If I made myself sit down and write for atleast twenty minutes a day with out stopping, it would help with my "writers block".

First Blog

This is my first blog and it is about me as a person, writer, and reader. Writing isn't my favorite thing to do in the world, but I love to read. My favorite writer is Stephen King. He inspires a lot of the things I write and choose to read. What really inspires me about King's work is how in depth he gets with the characters. Into the first chapter you already know everything about them. I love to write with detail. In my opinion reading/writing a good story isn't only about a good plot, you have to understand the character. Although due to my desire for detail I get very self conscious about my writing. I could turn a half page assignment into a novel if you gave me enough time. It is also an "acquired taste", if you will. Some people want a quick read and no deeper understanding other than crying when Edward left Bella. So not all people will care for what I write. I'm also one of those people that complains until no end when my english teacher rambles on about the green light in Gatsby and all the symbolism they have to pointlessly pick apart, but I happen to look for symbols in everything I read. It provides balence. As it happens to be however, I only took creative writing because i didnt have enough credits for this year. It was this or photography. This obviously won.
