Some thoughts on trying to be a POET

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 10, 2005, 1:11 PM
I had an excellent talk last night with Amanda about poetry, trying to be a writer, and the Sublime. It really got me thinking. I feel like I have this great potential, just under the surface, and eventually, I can bring it out.

First of all, I need to write on a more regular basis. That is why for the next 40 days (Lent) I am going to write something everyday. I need to get over my fear of failure. Sometimes I will fail. Sometimes I will write poems that completely suck. But if I keep working through it, I will start writing more good poetry than bad.

Second, I need to let go of conventions. It's like that scene in Fight Club where he is driving the car, and he let's go of the wheel to prove that, really, he doesn't have control; that there is no control. I don't really know how to put this thought into workds; it's in the same vein as the Sublime, therefore relatively indescribable. But I feel it in my heart & gut; good poetry is written with your eyes closed. It can't be approached logically, like an essay; it's a matter of the heart.

Well, off to poetry writing class.
Wish me luck.

The name of the game:
you check out my shit, I check out yours!

thanks for the watch, I'll have to check out your writing sometime, but I'm tirrrred and fuzzy, so I'll get back around here.

Nice name by the way.

and I don't know what the actual name of that game is....my thing was more of a description than a title....I guess its just courtesy....Shrug.

My roommate (defiance13) is addicted to deviantART and I couldn't help but get myself an account. Bear with me as I figure out this site.

I write short stories occasionally, but I feel really drawn to poetry lately. I also hope to get involved in photography soon.

I am very, very open to criticism & reading others' work!
