First

Well, this is a blog for my creative writing course. This is the most interactive I have ever been on the internet so I guess this will be a shot in the dark. When it comes to writing I have not yet developed an exact preference to any form, when it comes to school assignments and research papers I have a habit of using a large and mostly scientific vocabulary and maintain an almost robotic tone through out the entire paper. I also tend to take things from a neutral standpoint making it rather difficult to actively work with emotional topics.

Personally I have a growing preference towards fiction, I find that I deal with reality enough and enjoy the escape the fantasy realms provide. It is relatively easy for me to write poetry, the expression found in most is usually unique and moving and provides an outlet for all to express the abstract concepts of their emotions. What I have written however has rarely exceeded 2 pages due to the ideas in my head flying off before I can write everything down, if anything at all. With the work load of college these types of work have been reduced to little short snippets of wise words an life lessons or advice, the philosophy makes it fun none the less.

I decided to take this course because I felt it would provide an outlet away from the generic papers that seem so dull these days, provide something new to work with. I really enjoy the creativity, concepts, theories, and ideas found in the fiction I so often read and thought learning to write as such would be a good experience as such being able to get ideas to stay around would be something I would like to learn. Variety is the spice of life and consistency is the starch. I hope this will be a fun class.
