hope everyone is doing well.
i'm graduating in a few months. gonna be kicked out into the real world. it's just starting to set in now, since i spent the better part of yesterday and today hacking my resume down from two-and-a-half pages to one. am i employable? i guess we'll see
in a free-verse and form poetry class now. don't really like the teacher, which is a shame. however, got the chance to write a sestina, and it turned out pretty good, which was nice. so, i'm gonna post it along with the recommendation to try it out, you learn a lot about how words and sentences can fit together.
shameless self-promotion: my friends and i have a game where they give me a topic (undoubtedly highly inappropriate) and i think of a haiku about it on the spot. it's pretty enjoyable, so i made it into a twitter page, www.twitter.com/haikubyben. check it out if you feel motivated. DISCLAIMER: not for the faint of heart!

to the core
wow. upset. writing a memoir piece about a very difficult time in my life. regressing because of it.
damn
can't post newest story. too many footnotes. let me know if you wanna read it, i'll send it to you.
janvier of the thick frost
i'm nervous. i'm taking a class this semester called "writing the memoir." that's right folks, introspection here i come.
so, for your reading "pleasure", i'll probably be posting snippets of my life over the next few weeks/months. it's rather nerve-wracking, though. because, i'm basically writing about my life to share with strangers, which i really don't mind doing, provided the event isn't too awful or embarrassing. however, what really changes a person and affects them? oh yeah, those awful embarrassing events. damn.
well, we'll see if i can muster up the courage to write anything deeply personal. or maybe i'll post an 8 page bi
submerging and resurfacing
finished a story last night. it was the most difficult thing i've ever written.
nonfiction account of Alicia Judd, first grade teacher in the school where the youngest school shooting on record occurred, february 29, 2000, in flint, michigan. both the victim and the shooter were 6 years old.
this was extremely emotionally draining to write. i'm honestly glad it's done, but i'm looking forward to revising it for the end of the semester.
you may read it if you like. even if you don't, though, i was wondering if anyone else got extremely emotionally involved in anything you've written. feel free to comment.

long time no see. I'm also graduating in a few months, but I'm four years behind you, so it's a different feeling, of course. good luck to you.
