the progression of a memoirArchive for September, 2008
the decision to write a memoir at 19.
Looking back on certain influences in my life, like Slyvia Plath, Emily Dickinson, Jackson pollock and and Jim Morrison, I always felt a sort of yearning or connecting towards their experiences and how they needed to express them.
Now, as I’m starting to find I’m not as well put together or collected as I thought, I’m starting to come to the point where a reason for writing this book is because it was a deeply meaningful yet almost truly impossible to express in its entirety, yet maybe with enough story telling and proper metaphor and detail I can capture it in another way I enjoy to express; Word.
Per request, and through my own personal coaxing, I have decided to post clips and snipets of stories I am trying to develop. What you read here will generally be one page, roughly explained stories. Most of the time, you won’t really need to know who any of the people really are, but if it gets too confusing let me know.
it would be appreciated if you posted comments with suggestions towards parts to be elaborated, details missing, etc. whatever you feel it is lacking.
To start things off…
Wow. I feel like I’ve fallen out of the birds nest. Straight up been kicked out into the real world to actually make decisions for myself that decided truly, what life I’ll have. With my recent decision to leave college, my seperation from my boyfriend of two years, my twenty day odyssey out west to LA and Burning Man, and now my return and adjustment to adult life, I’m paralyzed.
I’m so confused as a soul, and I’m stumbling upon there being more to the world than I cared to believe or really see for my self. I’m being awoken to patterns and to the fact that I’m not as calm or collected or put together as I fooled myself to be.
I’ve decided to keep my thoughts here and work on my book here as well. I don’t want to reveal too much of it before its complete, but we’ll see. Here’s hoping to a success!
