“I wrote all of these pieces on my own volition, inspired by the people within my life. Typically, I get all my thoughts down through word vomiting on the paper, then spend the majority of my writing process revising. All of these writings have benefited from the perspectives of others, allowing me to get to a place where I am proud of my works.”
“The revision process took some time, incorporating the feedback that I got from Writers Guild and the Writing Center to improve my piece. A lot of work revolved around rearranging sentences, changing the structure of the poem a bit, and writing new content. Overall, I really enjoyed the revision process and I am excited to publish my pieces.”

“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.”

“My process for writing and revision varies based on the type of writing I’m working on. For poetry, sometimes I won’t revise at all, and have trouble changing a poem after I’ve completed it.”
“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.”
