"Muse"

First of all, I lost .8lbs this week for a total of 5.6lbs.  This means that I recieved my very first 5lb sticker and am uber excited!  A family friend told me that he could tell I had lost some weight at church last week.  My boyfriend loves me no matter what size I am (my goodness he's wonderful!) and I've had some friends ask me why I'm doing WW.  I'm doing this for me.  I want to be healthier.

In the writing world, we often talk about our "Muse" and how she or he or they inspire us in our writing.  Personally, I have more then one supposed "Muse."  My God, my family, my boyfriend, my friends, and the beautiful world around me.

I have had a bit of a writer's block for quite some time now.  Just last week, I started writing poetry again and I am phyched!  One of my problems has been that I don't have that much time, and I still don't.  But now I'm making time.  Whenever and wherever I have an idea, I write it down; don't tell my professors....

One way that I really know that my creative "Muse" has seeped its way back into my veins is when I start writing love poetry.  I started a love poem last night.  These are, naturally, for K; although, he hasn't seen all of them.  There are some poems that will never be seen by anyone else's eyes but my own because they are way too sappy.

A poem that I wrote the day before the day before is one that I actually like (I rarely like my own work) but am very unsure of at the same time.  This is the first time that I have used profanity in one of my works; it isn't something that I use in my life.  "Savage Beast," this poem I created, simply felt as if it called for foul language.  And I gave it what it desired.

Never stop writing...

  1. so, i know we talked about savage beast in real life, but i wanted to reiterate something that i'm not sure if i said or not. ....first words are just words, people put the meaning behind them. think about it especially with what we are learning in class most things are arbitrary and just a symbol. so dont think of it as using profane language, but just using language in general. i know you in real life, and i just think that it fits the poem and you have to be true to the poem. you dont have to use it in all poems for for that particular one it just works.

    as for writing in class, i'm totally telling everyone.

    as for love poems. been there done that...i understand how sap is only for the writer.

    yay for writing poetry again

    and cheektouch.
