Hello, my name is Jennifer, and I enjoy sharing through journaling, wordplay, and poetry. HERE is where I choose to:
<<REGARDING THE BROADER TOPICS OF WRITING AND ART IN GENERAL>>
Have conversations or monologues [it came down to that a long time ago] about sources of Inspiration, means of Exploration, methods which inspire Creation, and ALL TYPES of STORY FORMATION; primarily Poetic, but One never knows around Here! Speaking of Here, Here is where I initially hoped to:
•freely share ideas and observations,
•experiment with patterns,
•deliberately provoke,
•explore hypotheticals,
•challenge societal norms,
[blah blah blah, snooze on the revision]
•describe and analyze personal experiences,
•identify and exploit stereotypes,
•minimize macro-experiences,
•maximize micro-experiences,
•release misplaced, displaced, and [let’s pray] REPLACED sexual energy, while simultaneously
•feeding my need for immediate gratification.
All through WRITING somehow! A Dark, Handsome, and Tall Order, I know!
But at 5’11”, I’m just the Woman for the Job!
I often feel like a front-row viewer to my own Spectacular Debacles, Lapses in Judgment, Stratospheric Acts of Self-Sabotage, and Almost Unbearable Surges of Joy.
Don’t you want to watch, too?
