your art matters.
okay, so maybe it's just a semi-hiatus, haha.
It is so incredibly nice to hear compliments on my writing. I have the worst reaction to it, though, and for that, I am truly sorry. I am grateful, but truth be told, my gratefulness doesn't really set in until I am somewhere quiet where I can sit down and hear myself think. Mrs. Barczyk, bless her heart, as nice of a person she is, isn't that great of a teacher. Anyway she told me that I should consider getting published to which I replied with a crazy smile/laugh combo (as usual when I am beyond stumped as to what to say. Thank you wormed its way in there somehow) It is a big fucking deal. To me, anyway. And it's funny because all I can think about was hearing the quote, "your art matters" in One Tree Hill and feeling like it seriously fit that moment perfectly. I'm glad my art matters, even though I'm always reluctant to share it
I ended up doing the slam. It's one of those things that I was deathly afraid of, so I took the easy way out by reciting a published poem instead. Then ended up severely regretting it after seeing my scores. I knew I would have done better with my own poem, the one that everyone loved, but at the same time I knew that there was just no way I could've done it without breaking into a nervous seizure. Such is life.
But yeah. as far as updates go, that's pretty much it.
I think before I leave for college I am going to print all of my livejournal out and make it into a book. It's as closed to published as I'll ever get. haha
