just another shitty writer

Nov 07, 2007 20:50

i've been thinking a lot about writing lately. i realized recently that i'm really not that great of a writer, and i've been doing a lot of expanding: reading new things, trying to write differently than i always have. i've been pretty frustrated with this whole writing thing this past week; just realizing how it isn't something i really have a choice about, it's in my bones, and i've actually gotta work at it.

i have this assignment for poetry class, a "copycat" poem. i have to write something in the style of someone else. i went to the library today looking at anthologies of american poetry, and i got nothin. any ideas from anybody? i'm partial to heavy description and fresh imagery, and preferably no rhyme scheme.

i miss that schoolbus fulla kids.
