 * Reflection:** So apparently since I was young I was writing about death. I found a piece I wrote in third grade about my hamster dying... it was really sad. :'( But now that I'm older I think (or at least I would like to believe) that I'm exploring the more emotional effects of "death". Especailly in my poems, I seem to always create a character that has experienced death in some form or another... and I tend to focus on how they are feeling at that paticular moment in time. This is quite interesting to me. I really like writing that captivates not only your mind, but your heart, too. Books that make my heart wrench because of the writing are so beautiful to me, no matter the mood. These kinds of books make me want to write like that too and I think by writing about such powerful subjects (like death), I can accomplish doing this. Maybe someday I'll be a skilled enough writer to write about more uplifting subjects, but for now the depressing ones will have to do.
