I have found a different voice for my poetry, and this may be the one that defines all my past, present, and (most importantly!) future work. Maybe it comes from figuring out how to throw myself back into that same emotional and mental state that usually accompanies my writing. Perhaps it is because I have a lot more free time this semester and I can take a minute or sixty to just breathe.

I must credit oneword . com for this. For whatever reason, their one-word-prompts have been inspirational and life-changing. Also, I am finally coming to know and understand myself. I feel as though I say this all the time, but I believe I am always discovering myself, perpetually reinventing, forever deconstructing and rebuilding.

Many props as well to the Decker computer lab at BCC for providing a somewhat distraction-free space in which to ponder and write--well, as uninterrupted as I can be with the entire internet in front of me. And don't forget to mention the cute girls. Ha!

In addition, I am downloading more music that I have for a long while been meaning to give a listen. Twilight Singers have skyrocketed to the top of my list.


P.S. I have entered the "Prompted to Write" contest. My entry is: art can expand space. Wish me luck, and then enter as well, until (I believe) April 15th.

Go forth, young disciples! Make it so!
