What’s the Latest?

I’m writing a new story, something I hope I can finish this time.

While it is no secret that I write, I am ashamed to admit that I have started on several stories but have ended up abandoning them after the first few chapters.

There was a time when I’d patiently write down every word I can think about on a notebook. Now that technology has made writing easier, I find it too tedious to even finish a single story.

Please check out my latest project. Feel free to leave a comment or suggestion if there is anything you can think about which can help/improve the story.

Level Up

A few days ago, I started reading about poetry. I write poems, and I have written at least a little more than 200. But I did not really excel so much in being able to define everything technical about poetry. For me, poetry was a way of expressing the most raw emotions. It was a way of release, and outlet where I could say anything I want to say, where I could paint the pictures that I never could do so with visual arts.

However, I decided to really go out of my comfort zone and become more technical in writing. I cannot just write about MY feelings forever. I also have to write about so many things that exist on this earth. This drive is the one responsible for my goal in being more than just a writer. I want to really comprehend other writers too. Yes, poetry is open to its reader’s interpretation. But the appreciation of poetry can only be grasped by those who also write with discipline. Right now, I am just a little more than a tabula rasa. I still need to leran so many things, so I can call myself a pretty picture of colorful knowledge and expertise.

I know that I can writer. But I would feel so much better and more fulfilled if I also know the correct manner of writing. My father used to be my biggest critic. Now, I am doing his job for himself. I need to be more than I what I now. I need to improve. 🙂
