Thursday, January 06, 2005
So the other day, I got inspired and wrote something that I actually felt. What a relief. I was beginning to think that I couldn't do that. I was thinking about this on my way home from work today. I regret that I don't read as many books as I wish I could. For the longest time, I have equated that with "well, I just don't read enough." And that is just not true. For one thing, I read more news articles in a day than most people will in a week, and more than most of the people I work with read in a month. I voraciously read magazine articles, internet articles, internet magazine articles, you get the picture. I purposly get to the doctor's office ahead of time, since I know that he has several subscriptions to news magazines. I want to work a few more books in there, sure, but I haven't given myself credit for what I have been doing. I guess what has this on my mind is this upcoming class on creative writing. I feel that I will write in the style of what I know, which tends to be factual, less dramatic, less colorful. That doesn't make it any less descriptive--in fact, that type of writing is more descriptive to me, since the author doesn't have the luxury of adding details that aren't there. That's of course if they aren't working for Fox News, in which case they seem to have free reign to gallop to the right. No more tonight. I have to be at work at 5am, so I'm going to bed. More soon.
