writing manifesto

Creating a bit of writing tonight. That sentence sounds funny. This week, something shifted. I felt like writing again. Writing a story. Writing from the depth of soul and mind. But writing like me. Not like people I admire and respect and unintentionally copy. (That's really easy to do.) Writing creative. Writing different. Making words come alive - really true. Often I end up writing abstract thoughts inspired by someone else's ideas. Instead, I want to strive to write abstractly. Writing more than just five paragraph essays or flowing "creative" thoughts. Strive to write structured thoughts, poetically. This all sounds the same, but it really isn't. I want to strive to write complete sentences and play with words until they are just right. (And until they make complete sense.) Mucho importante.

So here goes everything. I have a grand total of six months before I write for college. Before I write structured, nice sounding papers. Although I will strive to put my heart into what I write for that too. Here goes everything.

 Poetry in the paragraphs, passion in the words, dreams in the creativity, a story formed from deep within, striving for imperfect perfection, writing real, brave, honest, truth. Becoming vulnerable, writing love, living what I write and writing what I live. This, my manifesto.
