My Town is a Curious Town

“The process of writing a cohesive piece means a lot of self control and understanding that stepping back from the words you grow attached to allows you to understand more what needs to be said. I have been very invested in self growth as a concept, but very hesitant to fully immerse myself in the process. These two pieces are documentation of that journey.”

Why I Threw That Brick In the Corner of Our Room Through the Window of a High-Rise and Probably Killed an Innocent Animal

“When I brought this piece to Writer’s Guild, I finally read it out loud to an audience, which gave me more of a sense of how it should sound—important for me since it’s naturally a spoken genre. Thankfully, people told me what they wanted to know more about—what they craved to hear more about from the narrator.”

Hate

“I wrote this real late and really poured out my feelings into it. I didn’t have much to edit since I thought it really captured my feelings at that point and didn’t need much editing. I wanted to capture my ideas about hate and how it is the easiest emotion to be captured by, and how insanely hard it is to really love yourself and others to a full extent.”

By the Time You Read This

“During my revision process I found that members of Writers Guild really pinpointed some of the cracks in this story. I was able to utilize Brain’s feedback by giving the ‘you’ of the story a name to create a stronger sense of attachment for the reader.”
