Went to see the fortuneteller

My Creative Writing professor, that is!

It was an intriguing discussion. We talked about how I should do my writing, and discuss my upbringing, with my three dad's and now two moms, well, mom's girlfriends, anyhow. It is hard for me to see the material right now, and apropriate it into my writing. It is also hard for me to see the landscapes I need to see to bring the proper level of color to my writing. At least this is the case for my essays. My poems are something completely different. It's much easier for me to write a poem, cuz it's such a hit-and-run activity. Maybe that's a project we could do, as poets. Just run up to either people, or places of business, hurry and compose a poem, recite it and run away! Like beautiful form of terrorism. What should we call it? Suicide poetry? Poetry bombing!!! That's it!

  4. Something that really helps me with writing is just picking a total random place - like parking when the song ends on the radio - and trying to incorporate whatever details are within my vision into the scene that I'm mapping out in my notebook. It always supplies details I would have never thought of otherwise.
    Just never use the same spot twice.
