Re: How Do We Write?
Yes, I completely agree with you, and I think that it is true, what you have said... That is basically what happens to me, and whereas, I am too strict with my stories, I am more free while writing regarding poetry. Maybe as I get a bit older, I will find writing stories easier again.Rob Houghton wrote:I believe it's your age, Maria Esther. I can remember the same thing happening to me when I was in my teens.
As a child writing stories was easy because I 'just wrote' whereas, once we start being 'more aware' of the world and other writers, I think we become more self-conscious about our writing, honing our words into something we think is more impressive/better written.
As a teenager, poetry often becomes more important as we feel things more strongly, and poetry is a good way to express these feelings. At least, that was my experience.
As I've become older, poetry tends to happen best at sad moments, such as a lost love, or a new love or a death or some natural disaster or tragedy, whilst writing stories has tended to become easier again as I become less self-conscious about my writing.
I don't know if I have told you before, but my mother is a poet, and has already published some poetry books. And it is thanks to her that I can always improve my writing skills and with whom I can talk about literature and books..

Re: How Do We Write?
See now some of us, (hint hint: me) are gonna be single Pringles forever, so it's rather hard to get romantic inspiration. Celebrity crushes that don't know we exist, however, are not in short supply. Hmm.... maybe I should write about a certain, er, bear claw, eh Maria Esther?Rob Houghton wrote: ...poetry tends to happen best at sad moments, such as a lost love, or a new love
