WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a short story in a genre which you are either uncomfortable or unfamiliar with.
Think about which characters and plot lines would be suitable for your chosen genre, and how you will modulate your tone, language and style so that you don't end up writing in your comfort zone!
I Am In
I want to write poetry.
I just want to.
I need to.
My fingers itching to grasp my pencil, scratching words out and out and out to such a mediocre beauty.
Right now, this minute, this second, and second and millisecond,
I just want to write.
Instead of meaningless, completely meaningful, irrelevant, useless, brief conversational answers.
Which answer such idiotic, philosophical, beautiful, thinking questions.
I want to be a poet.
I don’t want to be a poet.
I want to be more and utterly more, overwhelmingly more than I can ever be.
I procrastinate my school work waiting under my hands that write.
I procrastinate never when it comes to the ruled paper I don’t follow.
And I’ve come to my comfort,
The one I seem to not have mastered,
Nor find talent in.
