So maybe I won't be writing here daily, I think weekly may be a better goal.

This week we discussed sentences specifically short sentences and also Odes such as the ones written by Pablo Neruda. We wrote our own Odes and here is mine;

Ode To My Bedroom Door.


Majestic white solider

standing guard to my sanctuary.

Your golden knob gleams in the mornings first light.

your solid frame pierced with hooks of brass

hold my possesions as if they were yours.

a knock upon your face like a slap alerts me to reality

but with you standing between, avoidance is upheld.

your hinges wail cries of protest as you're asualted by society

ultimately, you are no match to the world,

and you swing open with such grace.

now you stay open, swinging to a tune no one else can hear,

till it is time for you to take your stance once again as .

You slam shut with a shout, a yell, a bang.

Silencing, protecting, strong.

And since tomorrow or rather now is Monday here are some Monday Sentences.

The clicking keys were no substitute to ink smudges and crumpled paper.

Together they were one, apart not even two halves.

Halfway is a long way to go .

This is actually a post related to class. There were a few writing excersices from class Monday that I wanted to post here, and expand on, so prepare yourself, it's about to get all creative like and such :-)

-Beliefs
I believe in... sunshine, bare feet, crossing lines, pushing limits, best friends, ice cream, showers so hot they almost burn away a bad day, cold beer, strong drinks, standing up for yourself and your ideas, music, theater, musical theater!, knowing all the words to a recording inside and out, surprises, flip flops, diet coke, paper and pen.

- Writing is....

I believe that writing is mundane, ordinary like folding laundry or washing dishes, anyone can do it. GOOD writing however is art. It might not be physically beautiful, after all it's usually black and white line after line after line, but if you look within around and between those lines there's where the beauty is found.

This blog was created for an advanced creative writing course. There are no assignments yet for this blog, but I have decided to start blogging to get used to coming here daily/weekly to write. In the weeks to come hopefully anyone (aside from classmates) reading this blog will find themselves interested and entertained by my thoughts, and words.
