I am not entirely sure where my future as a writer is going to go, like everything now I feel like no one has control over anything. Ignoring the global pandemic-I really hope I get into a fully-funded MFA creative writing program for the 2021-2022 school year. I really want to dive into my poetryContinue reading “My Future as a Writer”

Since the beginning of this class… I have had an idea of what I wanted to do for our first “free reign” project or final project. I have been trying to incorporate my photography and poetry together for the past couple months, and so far I am really enjoying what I am creating. I proposeContinue reading “Final Project #5 Proposal”

To me, in some way everything is ethical. That’s why laws exist. None of these methods we used in this class were “unethical” for me, just maybe more unconventional, or pushed me slightly out of my comfort zone. Observation and interviewing are the easiest for me, for sure. Humans are constantly observing, I love observingContinue reading “Everything is Ethical”

It was as if the light fixtures in the apartment building had not been changed as long as I had been alive on the planet. When I reached her door I hesitated, I had not seen her since myContinue reading “A 1920’s Boujee Lady”

*Sorry for posting this late. I got very sick Thursday evening, and I am just starting to recover. I went to the doctor Friday and am waiting back on test results regarding influenza. At this point, in 2020, zines are no longer a counter-culture physical item. They can and are often digitized, which is greatContinue reading “Zines & DIY Publishing”

I plan on changing the title again maybe, working with it. I like the bedframe idea but I also may call it something like, “Tinder Troubles” or something with Tinder in the title? I also want to make sure each small story has Tinder tied into it somehow, I think I missed that in oneContinue reading “The Rooms With No Bedframe”

While bumming around the Brevity website, I chose to look at the more current published nonfiction pieces, because I like looking at things that are relevant. I found a piece titled, “160 Things That Scare Me” by Jill Kolongowski published January 17th, 2020. This piece stuck out to me for several reasons.
