I Need Coffee - Blog Posts

You know that feeling when you write up a beginning chapter for a story you had a great idea for. Then you end up revisiting it like a year later and you suddenly get a bunch of ideas for it. Then after you write a whole page for it you go pack to the three full pages you already wrote and you reread it and you just... THERE'S SO MANY MISTAKES! Now you have to spend THREE FUCKING DAYS rewriting just about every fricking line and your eyes feel like there bleeding because its 2:27a.m. on a Thursday and you're not even done cause you still need to fix all the mistakes in the new pages, and your character is starting to get as self deprecating as you and your head is swimming because your Spotify playlist is a jumble of 60's up beat happiness to 00's weird ass pop punk and what even is your life, WHY THE FUCK IS THE FAIRY TAIL THEME SONG IN THERE?!... N-no? Just... Just me? O-okay, well um, yeah that's all. Thanks for your time!

This made me wanna die the longest I have ever taken on a drawing, and yes I know about the clock

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

Reflecting on my writing process after turning in my first college essay, I had begun with loads of brainstorming. This brainstorming process took a couple days, as we participated in class workshops to help us create topics for our papers. My brainstorming process also included asking others what they would write about, seeing if two brains could jog anymore ideas for this paper. 

This is the stage of where I had collected all of my thoughts, and started my first draft. See, this is the funny part, I say first because I have 3 other versions of the same essay. All different approaches, word choice, and style. However those 3 drafts did not capture ME as a writer, my voice was lost. I had spent some serious time just drafting this paper, and it wasn't written in one sitting either. I enjoy taking breaks when producing work, new ideas each time I start. Though, it can leave me with a crunch for time. This is something I can work on to improve myself, and my writing. 

Going through and editing my paper, I had no “set image” for what I wanted to produce. I wanted something a little more raw, I have been confined to a supply and demand ideal when it comes to high school writing assignments. I was able to really show off my voice in this paper- However my timeline can get pretty jumpy, as I know my audience and am not comfortable sharing everything with them.
