This was the first big piece I wrote for this class. I'm not very good at short stories, but I was proud of completing this one. I know I played with point of view, and in order to tell this story I think i'd need to go back and write it in third person.

This book sits in my library at home, and helped to play with form within dialogue. Play writing is completely knew to me, therefore to start with an abstract approach made me less afraid of creating.

TED Talk Subtitles and Transcript: "Public shaming as a blood sport has to stop," says Monica Lewinsky. In 1998, she says, "I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously." Today, the kind of online public shaming she went through has become constant -- and can turn deadly.

There's something so tragic about learning this after the fact. After the shame has set in and the label looses contextual focus. When you look in the mirror and you judge her for all she is.

When your mind is clouded by pain, you have the right to be angry. You have the right to self worth. This goes no where, but remember you are capable of advocating for yourself.

My conversations tend to fall flat, so to produce a realistic dialogue for a scene was extremely difficult. But isn't it really about what the character doesn't say? I love tension.

I tend to use repetition as a structural device, but this was new for me. I used age as a way to move the narrative. It's a coming of age poem. It shows just how complicated our personalities are. When I turn 18, I'm not going to just be 18. I'm going to be 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, all the way back to my mothers impregnation.

There are some things that are hard to write about. She was one of them. I don't often write about her because the nostalgia sets in very quickly, but you could tell I loved her by what I could remember. I don't like to describe people by the way they look it doesn't do justice to the narrative, but for this poem, that's what was most important.

There was a time where writing couldn't even comfort me. It's feeling trapped, it's a self solitary, not being able to put you in my skin. Literally rip it off, and wrap it around you. Sometimes that's the only way I think I can get to you. When I push perfectionism on myself, it isn't the need to sound good. It's the need for you to see it. Can you see it, this way?  It's the most intense emotions that pour the words out.

This piece was actually written in therapy, suggesting that my writing is healing. It is pain pressed into white sheets and left to do what writing does...make people feel less alone. I want to let people see into the narrative I write for myself, instead of what they write for me.
